| ricky jak User Info... | Doorway and Walrus @ Logans dec 2007 There were a few other bands on the bill but I only saw 2 bands. Imagine it’s raining, nighttime and you are driving your car to Sooke or Port Renfrew. The windshield wipers are on low and the music begins. The slow pulse and peen of the guitars with the splash of symbols come from your speakers. Slow and you grit your teeth as another hit on the drum busts inside your head. Its doom, it’s metal but not, it’s a trance, it’s a journey and you slowly nod your head to the tempo. Then your car hits a deer. Doorway Doorway’s set onstage consist of two maybe three songs. No one else in this city is presenting this type of music. I have had the chance to see these young artists twice and although I do admit they certainly may not appeal to many metal folk they took my mind with their music. I feel they are one of those refreshing bands I have experienced this year…. Well except for Heaven and Hell of course but that’s old and the best period. Its funny how I, a guy who sang in a band this summer that played 12 songs in 16 minutes would enjoy a band that has songs clocking in at 18 minutes a piece. Doorway’s music is more a feeling. Walrus….. hmmmm Bison, Woolly Mammoth, Mastodon, Croft and Seals…. And now a band called Walrus. Their first song seemed to make me feel like I was in a wooden boat just coming into a fiord. The other songs took to the street with a kinda funny bewildered babble as girls threw their panties at them. But I have to say a great sounding vocalist on this band. I stayed for only four songs due to just plain exhaustion…. I’m getting old I guess. Walrus had a heavy feel to what I saw but I certainly wouldn’t put them in a metal category. They have this kinda indie-retro-rock sound. I sometimes ignore the clean indie music scene but maybe it’s time I took my head out of my punk and metal ass and listened. I found Walrus intriguing. –ricky JaK - Mon, 24 Dec 2007 1:33am | ||
