Last night, I got to see two of the most incredible bands that have graced a stage. Are they famous? No. Do they sell out arenas? No. Are they even well known? No. But they're talent far surpasses anything I've ever seen before. First up was Projekt: Cog, an electronica band. Their guitarist was excellent at his craft, his playing really added some power and depth to the already heavy and dance inducing rhythms made by master mixer King Cog. Their singer, Elle, was astounding. Her voice, both seductive and ethereal, took me to a place in my mind that I've never been before. Her movements were fluid, as if she was water in an endless vacuum of space. The sex appeal she brought to the stage made it hard not to watch her. I think it's safe to say that you could assume I was disappointed when their set was over. Nevertheless, I was fortunate enough to have them sign a CD for me ^_^
Next was Apophis, a metal band consisting of some friends. Don't let what may seem biased fool you, they're spectacular. Al, the vocalist, is reminiscent of the classic Panteta sound, with a cutting new edge to his style. Zakk, the drummer, could do things that I've never seen before with his hands and his sticks of magic. Sam, the rhythm guitarist, has some of the coolest ideas for riffs that I know, and he's an astounding tattoo artist. Now Johnny, Johnny is probably the greatest guitarist that I've ever met. His makes playing look easy, but I know it isn't. No one can out play him. No one.
