It was eclectic rock night at the Slice, Saturday, July 9.
While I missed the Ketamines, I arrived in time to see a solid set of droning Brit-pop/ indie rock from the Concrete Hearts. It featured ethereal female vocals, all sorts of screeches and effects laded guitar backed by grooving bass. They were a touch of the Pixies, a touch of Sonic Youth noise and a lot of ’90s post grunge.
The act I wanted to see was Axis of Conversation.
They created vast soundscapes with cello, violin, guitar and a lot of Kaoss pad.
The incorporated a lot of influences into their sound including pop, R and B, electronica and rock backed by rock solid drumming and bass along with some excellent pop tinged vocal melodies.
They even a had a couple dancers on the floor. out of the 50 or so people there.
