Eye C Snakes (I don’t know why they choose to spell their name thusly, trust me though, they are cooler than it makes them sound) was the one band I hadn’t heard of before that I wanted to see during Friday night’s festivities at the Radisson. Today, while I should have been working on essays and/or answering phones at work, I chose instead to sneak a peek at various MySpace pages of bands that were playing tonight.
This band caught my ear automatically. A heavy sound, ripe with distortion and disturbing sound waves, toped with a light and airy vocal of an aesthetically pleasing woman. I won’t pass that up any day of the week.
The siren took to the mic surrounded by her Y-chromosomed accomplices in rock. While there were many elements of metal, the band blended a solid old-school rock sound to create a low end driven riff-tastic noise that was delightfully distorted. All of this laid underneath vocals that could not have been more organic, presenting the yin to the music’s proverbial yang.
Visually Eye C Snakes was a treat. Showing that maybe their name is choice of on ocular theme over an individual theme, the band moved rhythmically around their highly-animated drummer. The vocalist danced and seduced through every motion, propelled by her bandmates beats and riffs. One thing is for sure, all eyes were glued to the lady in black.
It is only so often that a band can pull of such a heavy sound with a woman’s touch for vocals. Specifically, Eye C Snakes does it very well. The dichotomy of their music is complex but not fabricated. Definitely a band worth checking out.
