Check out their myspace <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/lionsthebrave\">HERE<\/a>. \u00a0It&#8217;s got all kinds of youtube clips and whatnot.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"gangcharger\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/images\/ganggang.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"485\" height=\"461\" \/>This was our first time to Moes. \u00a0It&#8217;s also a BBQ joint and the smell of the food is absolutely amazing. In fact it smelled so good that we all ended up getting food and enjoying every bit of it. \u00a0Nothing like good BBQ with a cold beer. \u00a0Gangcharger came on next and blasted their sonic boom. \u00a0Tons of LOUD distortion, fuzz, noise and guitars. \u00a0In other words I love it. \u00a0I was surprised at how well the songs were structured and the distortion was always perfect. \u00a0Anyone can blare distortion, but it takes talent and patience to make the perfect sound. \u00a0Gangcharger&#8217;s got it. \u00a0Check out their myspace page <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/thesoakingquiet\">HERE<\/a>. \u00a0Thanks for the cd Ethan!<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"sonneblume\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/images\/gang-sonneblume.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"485\" height=\"323\" \/>Last up was Sonnenblume. \u00a0I&#8217;ve never heard of them, but clearly they are veterans to this music thing considering how well they could play their instruments. \u00a0Both the guitarist and drummer would kill their instruments on every song. \u00a0I mean, KILL them. \u00a0Especially the drummer. \u00a0I&#8217;m surprised he didn&#8217;t destroy his drumset. \u00a0The music was good. \u00a0Fuzz loved it. \u00a0I thought the singers voice was a little to pretty for my tastes. \u00a0They are a good band for sure though. \u00a0Denver is coming up! \u00a0Check out their myspace <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/sonnenblumetheband\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got a text from my friend Ethan in the afternoon saying his band was playing that evening in Denver. \u00a0I ran it by Liz and she was in and our babysitter was down to watch the kids so all of a sudden Liz and I were gonna be going out. \u00a0Whew. \u00a0We told our [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[18,26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-concert-reviews","category-music-news"],"wppr_data":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1j9K4-6p","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=397"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/397\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
