Gig #42 of 2014: Dawn of Sequins & QunQ

I arrived to this show a little bit late and thus missed out on the first band. I did get there in time for one of the promised math presentations, I think it may have been on logarithms. After that was done Media Jeweler was up. I had never heard of them before but they seem to be a fairly new band from Orange County. They played a very tight set that could be described as Math Rock. They had some great arrangements, and I enjoyed the fact that one of their guitar players at one point was simultaneously playing a pocket trumpet and regular trumpet.

QunQ were up next following another brief presentation on math. QunQ don't fuck around when it comes to their intensity and balls to the walls precision. These guys deserve a fuckload more attention than what they've garnered. Their dedication to their music and performance easily works circles around most bands you'll see. Check em out!

Dawn of Sequins were up next to close up the night. DoS started as a project for Eli and Mary after the end of their long-running band The Monolators. The music still retains all the pop and garage hooks that Monolators were great at, but filtered through a synth direction. Live drums are replaced by programmed beats and the pair trading off on vocal duties. They're always a treat to watch in whatever musical guise they choose to take.

Gig #2 of 2014: Feral Kizzy & Dawn of Sequins

For my second show of 2014 I saw Feral Kizzy and Dawn of Sequins at Pehrspace in Echo Park last night ( January3rd ). 

Feral Kizzy were in top form as they slew a packed house at Pehrspace. People were a little reluctant to dance but that didn't stop Kizzy Kirk and band from burning through their entire set. As I've seen them from show to show they've only become more finely honed as a group. 

Dawn of Sequins is one of two recent projects from Eli and Mary Chartkoff of beloved LA scene stalwarts The Monolators. Their songs as Dawn of Sequins  take the same catchy quirky garage-pop aesthetic and reapplies to synth and programmed beats. They're still as fun to see live as they have ever been. They'll be performing at Pehrspace the first Friday of every month this year as an extended residency.

Note: I am hoping to better document the live shows I attend and make these posts a bit more frequent, the goal being to cover every single show I attend this year. Let's see what happens.
