Rec. Info:
AIWA CM30 Mic -> Olympus LS11 (at WAV 16/44) -> We Transfer-> my HD -> Audacity (edit, volume balance + boost only) -> WAV 16/44 -> TLH8 -> FLAC -> DIME -> YOUR EARS AND MIND...
Recorded at first row almost dead center as usual by dear SEETHEFUZZ7. Nice recording full of screaching guitar feedback. Like it should at music like this. Unfortunately the
vocals are totally buried in the mix, so I did not even attempt to get a setlist via listening...A few nice pics are included as well...

California made SHOEGAZE and PSYCHROCK straight in the style of JESUS AND MARY CHAIN or MY BLOODY VALENTINE. This duo from San Diego (with two extra musicians) are a bit controversial
in their public appearance, but definitely political correct. I can't really tell much about their lyrics (see above), but I found a nice quote from the wiki...

"In September 2010, Crocodiles released an instrumental song, "Kill Joe Arpaio", referencing the controversial anti-immigrant Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona.
Arpaio heard the song and responded using Twitter, "Msg for the San Diego band 'Alligators' who wrote new song called 'Kill Joe Arpaio': BITE ME,". Arpaio also referenced the song
during an appearance on Phoenix TV channel KPHO, saying "I'm a little concerned about the music, where kids can get this type of music. I think it sends a bad message.
I understand freedom of speech, but there has to be a line of threatening a law enforcement official." Crocodiles responded via Spin Magazine saying "Maybe if the song was called
'I'm Gonna Kill Joe Arpaio,' he'd have a case but what we are attacking is the attitudes and policies he represents. In reality, we're keeping our fingers crossed that his
much-deserved heart attack comes soon; the world can always use one less racist." "

Remember - it was an INSTRUMENTAL song... and now let the feedback orgy start...SB.
