There was a good sized audience out for local alternative rock band J Blissette’s CD release party at the Owl Acoustic Lounge, March 10.
I arrived at the end of an energetic set from Slut Prophet.

 They sounded like a mix of alternative rock and jazz music as the lead singer screaming her head off over a backing band of noisy keyboards and a tight rhythm section playing experimental almost jazzy bass and drums.

J Blissette, who were releasing their new CD “Until I Go Blind” , featured Matthew Rederburg back on drums, joining Cory Fischer on guitar, bassist Arnaud Sparks and frontman Jackson Tiefenbach

They began their set with short bursts of punk fuelled energy before settling into a slightly more sedate experimental garage rock groove.
