Blog Entry 13 of 55 The Lush Report

I'm trying to bring some of the more overlooked stuff from the local music scene. I have to balance it against a full-time real job, so I can't be as thorough as I'd like, but hopefully you'll find some of the stuff that Mark Brown and Ricardo Baca don't cover. If you've got a tip on a great venue for live music or great musicians to check out, e-mail me here. To bookmark this blog, click here.

Nemonic, left to their devices

So I missed my most recent shot at checking out Aurora hard rock band Nemonic(thanks to a heavy workload here...) but I think I'll be checking them out later. In the time since their singer Rob Sterling passed me a one-song demo, they've put up two new songs on their myspace (which you can get to by clicking that Nemonic link above.)

I'm still rolling it around in my head. Still trying to get a grasp of it. I guess I'd say it's kind of like if Tool traded a big chunk of menace for melody, but there are moments (including the pretty heavy breakdown toward the end of "Everyone is Here") that belie the more experimental angle and definitely out-heavy Tool. Maybe Staind without all those obnoxious self-loathing theatrics?

I guess some of it might be that Sterling sounds like he's still coming into his own vocally. Maybe hold back a little during the quieter parts so the pipes really hit us when they're going full force?

I don't know. What do you think? Oh, your next chance to catch them will be May 19 at the Iliff Park Saloon in Aurora.
