here it is.....all finished. tell me what you think in the comments.
Cheer up emo kids! Schming is a band for all of your frustrated love angst you haven’t figured out how to vent yet. They are three (very hot) Cool Beans regulars. I don’t know if they call themselves “emo” but it means emotional and Schming is just that.
On Friday, July 18 I was at the coffee shop, talking to some of the “square junkies”, trying to figure out who was to play at Open Mic. When I heard Schming had 10 o’clock reserved I was elated! (Schming band aid, right here!) When the show started at 8:00 I was sitting at a table, chitchatting it up, trying to pass the two hours until they were to play.
*Then it was time*
Every time I see them they seem to have ten new songs (maybe it’s just me…) It’s great to hear new stuff but they always leave me wanting to hear songs like Cure and Faith. It’s all good though, I have their demo cd. During their set they played Amor Sui, Song #8, Don’t Let Me Down (a Beatles cover), Mullorahm, and Goodnite 2 Starlite.
John gave a very intense performance. His face was emotional and I felt his passion for the music and the meaning behind it from the very back of the crowd. But I did move forward for a better view. I watched him sing and it truly moved me. I felt his love for music and I could just see it pouring out of his face and imagine it pumping through his veins. He’s got this beautiful yet tortured voice that is perfect for their style. Not tortured like S&M or dying. It’s the quintessential teenage rocker sound.
Matt was his usual stoic self but his drumming was stunningly poetic. Not at all forced like a lot of drummers I’ve heard lately. I was actually taken aback by how little he let his face express and how much his music did. If you want an idea of how it sounded think Pinkerton (the Weezer cd.)
Nick has a different stage presence than everyone else but is no less there. He has some bass-lines that make me think of Audioslave and remind me of HotHotHeat. Nick goofs around a little more than John and Matt but he makes Schming complete. He moves while he’s playing, stoops down, and lets his whole body get into it. When watching the band as a whole, it may seem that Nick lets himself fall back into the shadows. You can’t not notice him for long or you’ll miss out. Nick brings something more to Schming and to see it you have to watch him. He seems to have the time of his life out there.
By the time they played Mullorahm, I was forcing myself not to stand in my chair and scream the words. I felt some major fervor in that little historic courtyard that I’ll never forget. This is a band full of passion and if they stay together I see them going places. When Schming performs it’s kind of sensual - three good-looking guys expressing themselves through original music. Very hot. Keep it up guys. The girls love ya.
You can see Schming at Swayze’s on August 15th. Tickets are $6.00 and sold at the door.
