Charge It Up

On Thursday, I was at The Baby G to see a few acts. Lately, this venue has been the go-to for smaller bands. First up was Nyssa. Her short, blonde cut, cowboy swagger, and deep voice fitted perfectly with her new songs that sounded like a cross between Meatloaf and Johnny Cash. Next was Ice Cream. They debuted big with a sold-out show at Smiling Buddha but have struggled to keep that momentum going. I still like their dissonant poppier Nine-Inch Nails aesthetic. Finally, Negative Gemini from New York took the stage. There was nothing wrong with the oomph-oomph dance beats, but they needed a bigger dance crowd and especially a much better sound system than the anemic one at this venue.
