Friday G-Street Pub
I do not know why I have never done this before, but bands to actually come to Davis to play. Granted, the tend to be rock or blues styled bands, as the village is too small to support really underground music.
However, Friday night my friend Dan asked if I wanted to go have a drink, so I suggested we hit G-Street pub. Though it is close enough to bike to, it was kinda cold. Dan drove.
We had a good time, and it turned out that three bands were playing there. We stayed for all of the first, a folk rock band from Vegas: Coastwest Unrest. I liked them. Folk rock is fairly similar to the dark folk and darkwave I like, just sans keys. They did have a violinist, which was super cool. I ended up picking up there CD, "Songs from the Desert".
I'll have to write an amazon.com review, though it is harder when it is a genre I do not normally listen to. At times, they have Tom Petty or Bob Dylan like qualities. Though my favorite track is called "Mojave Dream #5". It is a fast paced instrumental in a minor key, reminiscent of the Battlestar Galactica soundtracks composed by Bear McCreary.
