Iggy and the Rough Riders:
Iggy and the Rough Riders brought in some great sounds to Java Joz with their punk rock magnitude. Iggy and the Rough Riders could be compared to other bands such as rancid, along with their name that reminded me Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards but with less obscurity. They did a few covers of Rancid and the internationally known song ‘What a Wonderful World’ which was dedicated to the man of their inspiration as a family and a band, Joey Ramone. Iggy and the Rough Riders also write their own songs, such as one that Iggy wrote about his son Elvis.
A Simple Ending:
Bringing in a strong crowd, Murrieta’s very own A Simple Ending played a great show. Sharing their myspace link [www.myspace.com/asimpleending] they even make room for their fans. Their songs aren’t just made up stories, but the lyrics are reflected from experiences from their own lives. A Simple Ending is a highly recommended band from all their fans that came to see them. They are very neat guys who aim to please your ears.
Skye:
Long time band Skye put on a wicked show on the 22nd of September. Without long old drummer Erik by their side, long new time member Richie made a most marvelous impression. Skye Sounds best when combining both screaming and the average vocals singing throughout their songs. I haven’t heard of a person who doesn’t like their music yet, and I’m sure that you won’t either.
Telescreen Down:
Although short one bass player, Telescreen Down still played a pretty sweet show. Guitarist Jeff Webber and Drummer Pelham Britt did very well together on their own. Songs made for no one in particular were played and were very fun for the individuals who took them in; even though one was about Jeff’s hate of televisions [hence the name of the band]. Telescreen Down’s sounds are pretty much kicked back and fun to listen to.
