Cold Water Mystic - Concert Review
|
How often can you say you've walked into a
bar, happen to hear a random band playing, and fell in love
with everything from the vocals, to the drums, to the crowd
itself? This is the impression I left with after hearing
Cold Water Mystic play at Kazzbaar in Forest Park. True,
the venue was small but on that note, the normally not so
packed place became flooded with a sea of rockers partying
the night away to the high energy performance from these
guys.
Brookfield natives: Dan Hull (vocals) ,
Martin Rodriguez (guitar/vocals), Darius Narbutaitus (bass),
Cory Seidelman (percussion), Jon Truhlar (drums) blew the
night away, as well as the doors off Kazzbaar with what you
could say was a fair mix of funk, hip hop, reggae, blues,
and rock and roll. Wow, quite a mouthful! This group
started on time, elevated the crowd immediately and left us
at that level for the duration of the show. With Hull's
vocals, this group sounds like Incubus, 311, and Sublime all
rolled into one. Off their album "Lazy Dayz" came two great
hits "Get up, get off" and "Minimum Wage" along with a
handful of amazing covers of Sublime, Spacehog, and Wu-Tang
Clan's "C.R.E.A.M."
I suggest you check out their website at
www.coldwatermystic.com and become familiar with these
guys because this won't be the last time you hear their
name, in fact they're just getting started! Feel free to
check them out at one of their several events scheduled for
the next 4 months including: Hi Tops, Penny Road Pub,
Illinois Brewing Company, and The Note (kick-off for
Emergenza 2007). Enjoy!
