Two New Band Blogs and the Fresno-Bakersfield Scene - by N.L. Belardes
Two new blogs have made a grand entrance onto the N.L. Belardes Band Blogs. Three Chord Whore, those dark angels of post grunge angst have been kind enough to bless us with their narrative wisdom. If you haven’t heard their music or met these cool ladies, you need to. When’s the next show? I wanna know! Having mixed it up in the scene for quite a while, they’re ready to rant and rave at you a little bit, so check back with them regularly. I know I will. They've already posted a lot of great material!
I’d also like to introduce the band blog from Fresno’s 40WattHype. Emcee and production master Aaron Wall has thrown down the gauntlet along with the Fresno/Bakersfield Brit Pop band The Dalloways to bridge the music scene between Bakersfield and Fresno. 40WattHype’s neo hip-hop style and great lyrical message is a must for all you hip-hop fans. Come on Jake of Downtown Records, I know you and Ronald of Underground Records have big connections to the hip-hop kids in the scene. So get the word out.
If you don’t think bridging the gap between the Fresno and Bakersfield music scene is a good idea, well think again. The Filthies will be playing with the Dalloways on April 15th at Club Fred in Fresno, just to get the word out to Fresno that Bakersfield is alive and well in music. Why not? Club Fred and the Starline are the two hippest venues in all of Fresno. If you haven’t been, you need to. I was at the Starline watching 40WattHype tear it up, and let me tell you, that place packs them in over in Tower Centre. It’s the next best in killer downtown scenes that this valley has to offer.
Did you know that the Dalloways cd Penalty Crusade was mastered by a producer who then went on to master an Eminem cd? I mean, this was right after he put the last Brit Poppy lick to the flick switch. Crud I can’t remember his name. See, the Dalloways are so good that my original cd was taken by some dude in the music industry that wanted to check them out. What was I supposed to do, say, "No, you can’t have my cd?" Whoah… dude... Penalty Crusade has some great guitar work, masterful lyrics and sports some of the best all-around musical talent in any band. Just ask Kenny Mount of ye olde Brian Jones was Murdered. He once told me, “That Brit Pop... it isn’t easy to play...” Which of course he followed up with potty jokes...
