Who couldn't love a Wisconsin high school Nirvana cover
band-makes-good story? Kieskagato has morphed from a bunch of young punks
playing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" in a basement to a Latin and Jazz-
influenced indie band touring the country and celebrating the release of a
new EP. Citing influences as diverse as Duke Ellington and Sunny Day Real
Estate, Kieskagato brings freshness and energy to the usual four-piece
formula. Point Juncture WA is not a town, it's a sweet, dancable that has
been getting some major buzz and playing shows all over town. The Binary
dolls manage to make off-key vocals and odd samples sound not only good, but
just right. These are three of Portland's most promising bands. - Courtney Harding, Portland Tribune 3/18/05 |
