LA Font at Spaceland

Kazai Rex! were entertaining. However, much of the stage presence was at the expense of a reasonable standard of musicianship which was at best shoddy, and in the case of the drumming, particularly (sorry Richie) ramshackle...The songs were kind of theatrical, like if The Magic Numbers wrote a bad musical...

Kazai Rex!

Sacha Baron-Cohen wearing a Fez may not be the look Josh Charney is going for, but after a bland opening number the set gathered momentum with the addition of a cool trumpet player, a great jazzy drummer and an ok bass player. After the non-descript opener the set turned jazzy with a touch of 'Riders on the storm' - Charney's keyboard licks right out of Ray Manzarek's repertoir...

Latin Meds

LA Font sounded excellent, Spaceland's sound system highlighting their brilliant rhythmn section. Singer Danny Bobbe was at his surly best, stalking the expanses of the Spaceland stage like a menacing caged lion, all jagged guitar licks and fractious vocals. Great set from one of my favorite bands on the local LA scene...
