"QUENTIN TARANTINO'S NEW, FAVORITE BAND" - if it isn't, he hasn't heard them, yet…read more I was going to spend a quiet evening at home, when I noticed a Facebook post by my friend, Lucky: "DOUBLE NAUGHT SPYCAR @ Liquid Kitty bitches!!! tearin' it up epic style..." Intrigued, I told Allison that we were out of quinoa and I'd be back from Whole Foods in half-an-hour. I then made a beeline to The Kitty. A few qualifiers, here. 1. I generally do not like instrumental bands, 2. I often find the music produced by wicked smart, "Mensa-musicians" to be inaccessible, and 3. Over the years, I have been exposed to a wide variety of hallucinogenic drugs. I ordered a bloody mary and sat down at the bar next to Lucky. For those of you unfamiliar with Lucky, she is intelligent, hilariously funny, and extremely easy on the eyes, so the night was already off to a great start. Then the music started. After a minute, I wandered away from Lucky (the smart, funny, hot chic) to get a better view of the band. That last sentence says it all. For the next couple of hours, I was transfixed, transmuted, and transported. The band was channelling a hall-of-fame full of musicians and composers - Dick Dale, The Doors, Sergio Leone, Yes, The Specials, Zappa, just to name a few. The band-mates wove their individual masterpieces together so intricately, like a textile made from the silk of the orb-weaver spider, that the result was like listening to one beautifully impossible instrument. And here's the best part: Despite the fact that each member is godlike in the mastery of their craft, their music is accessible to a guy like me. There is zero pretense with these guys. They are to "Cinematic punk jazz surf instrumental" what Neil deGrasse Tyson is to astrophysics. Let me break it down a bit: BASS While the band played, my mind was constantly filled with yet-to-be-written Quentin Tarantino films and Bass-player, Marc Doten, was definitely the Michael Madsen character. Relaxed, cool and solid, he lays down bass lines like butter, then on a turn, I suddenly saw him strangling the notes out of the neck of his axe. His face was completely calm as his left hand did the dirty work. It reminded me of the murder at the lake scene in "At Close Range" http://movieclips.com/vrtkX-at-close-range-movie-murder-in-the-lake/ DRUMS During his solos, Drummer, Joe Berardi, is so frenetic, fast and precise, it looks as if he is using his drum sticks to successfully knock unconscious a hive of bees - one bee at a time. GUITARS During one song, Marcus Watkins ' guitar (more notes-per-second than I have ever seen and he makes it look easy) and Paul Lacques' lap steel were engaged in a "conversation" such that I HEARD voices. This is not hyperbole. I actually heard lyrics being sung, particularly by Lacques' lap steel. I was about to say something about it to the woman sitting to my right, but when I previewed my question in my own head (as schizophrenics are won to do) , "Hey, do you hear voices, right now?" I knew how it would sound. I was tripping balls without the benefit of hallucinogens or a spirit guide. SEE THIS BAND. Thank you, guys, for an amazing evening and thank you, Lucky, for the heads-up. See you, next time! r

I would love to stay for the entire concert, but as early risers, we have been leaving at intermission. That said, this symphony is a real gem. High quality, donation-supported so there is no cost barrier to attend, and easy parking across the street. I was mistaken in my previous review: this is a community orchestra, not a professional one, which speaks to the high quality of the music. We will keep going for the time being, but half a concert is almost not worth it.

The symphony was well rehearsed and played well. My fav was Danzon, not your typical classical piece: think Latin jazz with lots of orchestration. The venue was a typical multi purpose hall: acoustics were crummy. The audience was the typical community symphony crowd, what my friend and I call "silver foxes." I.e. watch out for walkers. The usual venue for the symphony is the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. It's much larger than SGI, with poor acoustics, and pretty drafty. Parking is around $8. Concerts are free. If you've been thinking about checking out classical music but didn't want to deal with downtown traffic and $$$$ tickets, try the SM Symphony.
