California Breed, Whiskey A Gogo, May 2014

California Breed Live At The Whiskey A Gogo, Los Angeles, May 28, 2014

I just got back from an awesome first gig with California Breed, happily just up the road (in LA terms…) from where I live. Extremely impressive, smiles all around, at a packed Whiskey A Go Go. The show was extremely energetic. It truly was a great night – and such a relief to hear a guitar player that totally relied on feel or intuition, instead of the overtly technical, sterile and totally pointless widdly widdly four-finger exercises you hear from some other (no names!) bands.
The closing Zep and Purple covers felt a bit unnecessary, but What Is And What Should Never Be and Medusa provided some welcome change in texture and approach, pointing out a future, more diverse direction for this extremely promising, energetic and honest band.
Set list:
The Grey / Chemical Rain / Sweet Tea / Invisible
Scars / Solo – All Falls Down / What is and What Should Never Be (Led Zeppelin cover) / Strong / Spit You Out / Breathe / Medusa (Trapeze cover) / Days They Come / The Way / Midnight Oil. Encores: Immigrant Song (Led Zeppelin cover) / Burn (Deep Purple cover)
