I always seem to miss local alternative rock trio the Supervoid, so I was glad to catch the end of their Dec. 30 set at the Owl Acoustic Lounge.
I arrived in time to hear a cool revamped version of the Cure’s “Just Like Heaven,” which had a scrappy garage rock feel.
The trio including frontman Jon Vornbrock, drummer Dean Wilson and bassist Christian Nelson ended a tight set with a couple of their own songs including “Take My Life.” As always, they wore their ’90s alternative rock influence (Foo Fighters and Smashing Pumpkins) on their sleeves.
I just saw alternative rock band Fox Eyes playing CKXU’s annual Christmas shin dig, but it was great to see them in a non-Christmas mode.
The band including guitarist/ vocalist Fox Mandy, bassist Nick Iron Shirt , lead guitarist Tico Ironshirt and drummer Bill also had a strong ’90s influence along the lines of bands like Hole and L7 with a touch of Joan Jett.
They were playing a few newer songs, as always punctuated by Fox Mandy’s piercing shrieks.
A decent sized crowd was on hand for the show, which began with JJ Thomas, who I unfortunately missed.
