The Attic struck again, hitting up the Roxy on Sunset this past Thursday night. As you can see from my previous post 3 wicked, or in more educated terms adroit bands conquered the 36 year old Roxy stage. A stage that has seen many great musicians from, Bruce Springsteen, to the early days of Guns N' Roses'. The Roxy is a mecca for underground talent. This venue houses the eclectic scene that is Hollywood. You will be amidst a very diverse crowd when you visit the Roxy, which makes for an even more interesting time. The first band to grace the stage happened to be the band I was most anxious to see and that was drum roll please (...The Jakes).
Coming fresh off their recent performance at the acclaimed SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas; the Jakes more than electrified the crowd, they moved them (in a can't stop dancing and feeling all the good vibes sorta way lol). Helming from the OC (which by definition most people outside of California already know because of some wack show on Fox that showcased a smidget of reality within that county anyways I digress). The Jakes have a very Maroon 5ish for lack of a better phrase type of sound. Most of their songs permeate with that Cali laid back feeling. Thanks to the magnanimous nature of the Roxy, I and many others were able to snag video and pictures of the performances. The Attic definitely gives a warm two fist pumps and dap to the idea of a venue actually allowing amateur photographers and bloggers to showcase the talent that graces its stage. Here is a two song sample from the immaculate performance by The Jakes.
Moving right along, Lemon Sun was the next band to rock the stage. This band was very surprising to say the least. Their music had a strong undertone of old Beatles and modern soft rock vibes. One of the coolest acts that I have seen thus far had to of been, their song with the added percussion's of a very attractive female tap dancer. This can be seen in the video below. More to come in the coming days. Enjoy for now.
