Luckily there is not a lack of lesser-know artists from the west or Koreans that have embraced the western-style music that want to play. Last Saturday's Club DGBD concert was a fun frolic into Korean-punk mix, Western-electronic, and some combination of the two.
The bands:
This was not my favorite band by a long shot. It just wasn't my type of music, so no knock to their ability. Their MySpace page has some well edited and enjoyable tracks. It just seems the songs that I heard were just screaming. I couldn't stand more than a few songs from their set before I had to leave and give my ears a break.
Ambient rock band from Korea. They all seem to be very skilled with their own instruments, but the group lacked harmony and came off as a collection of noise. Great potential for the future.
These guys were a great instrumental band. The duo did a great job of incorporating the drums, guitar, and synthesizer. They had great harmony and I would definitely have bought their CD if I had seen it. I'll be honest, I was debating leaving the show early until one of their wives told me to wait and hear them; a great tip well headed.
A trio of girls that knew how to play. I won't lie, this was the group that I wanted to see at the show. Their uploaded tracks sounded good and I'm kind a sucker for all-girl groups that play well. I came into their set halfway through, but everything I heard was very good.
A great punk-rock group from Korea. This band was most like the kind of music that I thought the whole show would be like. All the members were skilled at their instruments and they all seemed to be having fun. They played well as a group, but they all had their own sound. I would definitely try and hear them again.
