The Silent Comedy


Alright so Sunday at the Fest seeing Flogging Molly and MGMT was cool and all but the real story would be the fantastic local bands that played on the side stage. One in particular that truely blew me away was the San Diego natives, The Silent Comedy.

Seeing The Silent Comedy was like watching 7 people drunk on whiskey brought forward in time from the 1920's to play a mix of Alternative, Southern, Gospel, Folk Rock with enough energy to fuel several atomic bombs, if atomic bombs were fueled by pure rock adrenaline. Watching them was like watching an old movie, if you want to be so blunt, a silent comedy. The "actor" completely offer took they're implied persona's and put on a kickass show.

Not one person in the crowd stopped dancing at any moment during the 20 glorious minutes these guys played. As soon as they finished, they're CD's sold out in a matter of minutes.

If you live in the San Diego area, be sure to check these guys out. Trust me, the CD does not live up to the pure raw energy these guys emit live.

As of know, I don't have any MP3's for everybody, but I will soon. Just hold tight.
