MODERN CONVENIENCE

JAN 30TH THE PVC HOUSE  

  

In the future I am looking to maybe move to a city that will be larger and have a larger of an alternative type scene. When this time comes I wonder if I will still attend shows like the one I did last night. Shows you just go to because its something to do and your hungry for something so you seek it out and take a risk. Or will I just get sucked up into the world of punk and hardcore once again. Well either way last night I seen the local band COOKIE play an awesome set of 90’s style grung/punk. This band is 2-piece band that plays with all they got. The drummer was just killing the drums and the guitar player/singer was ripping the guitar apart. This is the kind of band that just shows they only care about one thing and that’s playing. They don’t care where or how just so they can play that’s it. This was like a breath of fresh air that’s for sure. They even topped this set of with a SONIC YOUTH cover it was great. Up next came MODERN CONVENIENCE from Memphis TN. This band plays basic to the point punk rock. Each song bounced along in your brain I had no idea who this band was but they had a bunch of songs that will remain in my head until I do get the record. Another band that just plays to play that’s it and that’s all. I love bands like this and I love seeing shows like this. This took place in a small dirty basement in Grand Rapids, but these bands played like it was a stadium in LA. Love the passion love the punk more shows like this please. This will teach to always keep your ears to the ground for awesome killer happenings in your local area. You have no idea what you will find.

    I can still smell this rockin’show! So close, and not so far off…I paid Modern Convenience to come down because I luv hearing punk with a twist, and Modern’s singer Mike is one of the coolest cats to hang with! I was lucky enuff to bring him down twice! Mabbee I’ll get him a third time…he has a pretty wide range…alot of his stuff can go from electropunk, experimental to no-wave! I’d luv to book him at the Thunderdome, I’ll tell you that!
