Bear Flag Republic @ Seldner House
I was really busy in the states and didn’t get to comment on my little adventures so I’m just going to recap on it all I guess. So at the end of the first week my cousin Marlow had a show in LA. I was super keen to go and the crowd of people at the venue were really chill and I liked that. Some of the acts that started were Shoot Guns and Fish, Fort Wife, Carlee Hendrix and Water Colour Paintings. Most of the acts played predominantly acoustic sets that gave a relaxed atmosphere. Water Colour Paintings stood out to me with their unique two-piece, harp + ukulele sounds so I got their CD and I actually have been really enjoying it. The night was getting later and everyone had sunk a few beers and it was time for Bear Flag Republic to play. Seeing them practise a few times I thought I had an idea of what the show would be like but they exceeded what my expectations were and it was an awesome set. Lead singer Jesus’ (pronounced he-zus…..mexican douche) lyrics were fantastic and the overall sound is very full. They said they hadn’t really worked out what genre they were but they are recording over the next few months and I’m looking forward to it. Such a good night out even got lucky and didn’t get in trouble from Angelique’s parents for getting her home so late hahaha. Great shot of AJ on drums as well below… cheers.
