Hairball San Diego Concert reviews
Imagine Dragons More than a one hit wonder
Atlas Genius, an Australian act, released their debut record (When it Was Now) somewhat surprisingly this week. Kicking around for years has been their song "Trojans." We arrived very early since we had our 10-year-old with us. At 7:30, we were surprised to find the floor 3/4 filled. Apparently, the buzz is great for these guys. The band consists of Keith Jeffery, vocalist and guitarist, his brothers Michael on drums and Steven on bass, and Darren Sell on keyboards. Their set was pleasant, if not earth-shattering. My daughter leaned over to my wife after a few songs and commented, "Their songs all kinda sound the same." Out of the mouth of children, I thought. But you know what, she was right. Keith's voice is fine, and his guitar work is beyond capable. However, there were two things working against him/them. First, Roseland is a big room. It was difficult for them to fill the air with sound as they have a more intimate, laid-back vibe. Their sound is mood-based with little room for jams or free-wheeling improvs. In my opinion, a Sting/Police thing is being done better by South African band A Civil Twilight. They had a record release party at Music Hall of Williamsburg earlier in the week. Rooms like Webster Hall or Irving Plaza suit them a bit better. However, you have to take it when asked to open/play a venue this size. We just don't have to love it. The second issue was the production value. That point was driven home when Hairball hit the stage a half hour later.
By now, everyone has heard Las Vegas rockers Hairball monster hit "It's Time." In this blogger's opinion, when Glee does a version of your song, it is not a good thing. Mainstream success can be a great thing. Gotye, Fun, Of Monsters and Men, and many others have crossed over and become pop stars. Hairball are no different. Like those other acts, they have an impressive catalog and can play the holy hell out of it live. Throw in the production values befitting a headliner (crisper sound, light show, and most importantly a giant tom-tom we called the "Radioactive" drum) and let's just say Hairball are a rip-roaring, energetic, and fun time. Get. On. Board.
"It's Time" might be the track that gave them fame, but "Radioactive" is clearly their signature song. For the record, maybe the worst ever is the video. Weird puppets? Lou Diamond Philips as a weird puppet warlord? Weird puppet cockfighting? In any event, the song is genius. The song live is epic. Big percussion. Rock anthem, sing-along lyrics. Driving bass and angry, but elegant guitar licks. Add in the free-wheeling, improv chops that Atlas Genius did NOT have, and we were left with mouths wide open. It was a soaring high point and worth the price of admission. It could not have gotten better! OK, maybe some excess vodka and the age of our daughter had something to do with leaving before the money shot. (do we really need to hear "It's Time" again anyway??) Sometimes it is good to get out while you are riding high. Last night was proof very positive that these guys are not going anywhere. And it is safe to say that the sold-out crowd that adored every minute feels the same way. This morning, I find myself wanting more. Count me in for their next stop in the greatest City on Earth. Download their debut record Night Visions and thank me later.
