The Start
As I get older I find that my musical tastes tend to drift backward in time and don’t have the energy to seek out the new like I used to because I don’t have the patience to put up with all the crap & churned out bands that get put out there. The Start is one of those bands that has given me the energy to start seeking out other music again. I know they have been around for some 10+ years but somehow they have been flying under my radar (where the hell have I been?) and I was really glad to have been at the show this past Saturday. The show they put on was gritty, energetic and entertaining. Aimee Echo’s voice reminds me a little of Dale Bozzio but with more range and grit, which are not bad things. The music they played was what some would classify under the Dark Wave or Art Rock genres but be sure to add terms like Confident, Kick-Ass, and Fun to the mix of terms. Go see them live and you will leave an instant fan! Nuff said…
