Press Reviews
Next was a nice surprise from Seattle called Akimbo (One of my personal favorites! -Sam-). They were dense like Alice Donut or like Depressor and the crowd, which had thickened up by then was liking them enough to mix it up. The kids from Clan of the Bleeding Eye were bouncing all over the place. I went back to the table to get a button and gave my high praise which is that I said I'd see them again. Who I came for was 400 Blows. They were beyond superb tonight, they rocked the fucking floor under us. They had a spontaneous pit going, they had a sound like hot lava spilling all over us, they left us screaming for more. They must be seen by anyone who loves a fucked up in the head twist your brain around band. It did not seem like anyone could top that set and I felt sorry for Jeremiah and Chandler, the Dime Life Crooks, when they showed up late and said they got in an accident on the way over. I thought "oh shit you gotta follow 400 Blows!" but ya know what? Dime Life Crooks absolutely tore us up. They had everyone in Burnt Ramen gettin' dirty down and funky with the hip hop super shit. I mean our socks were blown off. We was groovin' to the message. They channeled that accident angst energy into a higher plane and produced a superior art form. We danced our asses off. Jeezus I gots to go the Burnt Ramen more often.--KsKelly from www.atakra.com
