Dizzy Storm Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 after the disappointment of the their van packing up after their first gig of their tour back in june, Feverdream have kept their promise and will be appearing at Drakes on Mon 25th Oct...yay!!!FEVERDREAM.....on european hardcore label Coalition Records (who have released stuff by The Rites, Malkovich, Wolves, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Das Oath amongst others...) have definate echoes of the DC scene historically (earlier Fugazi) and present (Q and not U). Feverdream are a trio from Rotterdam that play a hook-laden, mesmerizing brand of post-punk that would not sound out of place on the same bill as Karate, Shellac or Fugazi. The cool thing is, although they would compliment those bands nicely, Feverdream are by no means a copycat bandWith tours alongside respected indie rock outfits Les Savy Fav and Blonde Redhead in their native Holland under their belt, its hardly surprising when Feverdream's opening slavo on 'Future Directions', '60 Seconds', comes across like something akin to The Van Pelt, or even Blonde Redhead themselves, i.e. a very respectable indie rock outfit. You could go as far as saying hardcore, what with the occasional screaming and jagged guitars... check out www.feverdream.nl MONO sound Like:The energy of Fugazi, Shellac or At the drive-in and the emotional, melodical side of Unwound, Karate. Other influences range from Led Zep, Black Sab, The Stooges to the eighties hardcore(Black Flag, Bad Brains, everything on Dischord)and indie(Pixies, a lot of Sonic Youth) to Les Savy Fav, Mars Volta, Don Caballero. Dissonant chords, some strange rhythms, without sounding complicated, heartfelt singing. This all caught in raw, melodic rocksongs www.beam.to/monowith local support from ERIC EUAN & POLITIK this is shaping up to be one hell of a gig!!MON 25TH OCTDOORS 8PM4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
