Guest idol_wild Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 If Kestrels avoid the screamy vocal style closely affiliated with post-metal/modern post-rock then I have a feeling I'll like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim BENCH Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Really enjoyed tonight. Debutant was awesome! Vocals hit the spot tonight and the guitar sounds were delightful. The new track was a highlight.Kestrals were great. Musically very tight and great technical guitar work. The songs were pacey and easy enough to get into with alot of great ideas into what seemed like really short numbers. As vocally amazing as the vocalist was (and believe me he has to be one of the best I've seen locally in a very long time) I'm not sure what to make of it. He spoke in between songs with a local accent yet when he sang you'd think he was from west coast california. But this is only a minor point that did not ruin my enjoyment of their set.Iname get better and better with ever show. Scott made them sound mightier than grayskull tonight. I've always thought that once the boys got the blance between their soft parts and turbulent sections they'd be stunning, but with earlier shows there was something missing. I thought that it was maybe they needed to use more contrasts. But I was wrong they just needed Scotty Blessed at the helm. He made them sound thunderous which helped the quieter parts. Also enjoyed the new use of vocals.As for Katerwaul... I actually forgot how to play the last song. I don't know how. We always play it in sound checks and its a popular one with a few folk and I've had many a conversation with people about its subject matter. But for whatever reason it just slipped my out of my head. Has this happened to anyone else?A great night had anyway. Apparently kestrals is only a temporary name so I'll have to keep tabs on this to see them again. Nice bunch of lads too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest idol_wild Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I thought Kestrels had some fantastic moments. Fantastic and powerful vocalist. At times they reminded me of Karate, especially in their slower numbers in the second half of their set. All in all, they should be delighted with their first gig as a new band.Iname were immensely tight and I will reiterate what Tim said - Scott's offstage mix was so crisp and clear. Ben is a solid little drummer, though his wifebeater left a lot to be desired, ha. I really appreciated some of the little guitar patterns. Good work with the night - getting a well populated Tunnel 1 on a Tuesday night with a local line-up is no mean feat.Katerwaul are a ridiculously under-appreciated band. Immense. I get the impression they felt they played badly, but I thoroughly enjoyed having my face melted by their wall of epic sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarvis Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I've noticed, Nick, that your playing style becomes dramatically more aggressive when you are emblazoned with that unicorn.Queue quips about 'stallions' and such... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
