The Stoned Poet

Birds Of Prrrey are one of the rare alternative indie rock band that have swept my heart since their emergence in the local scene around 2023. They recently released around July 6th, a EP titled Yet, We're Still Growing In Place . A title that is quite contradictory to what the group has been experiencing on the street levels. This years, they played Pouzza, they will soon, on the 26th of July, play Birdball which will be happening at La Sottorena serving as their EP release party. Why the fuck to they celebrate so late when their listenings has gone up and everybody has posted their story about being in heaven while listening to the new release weeks ago? Well simply because nothing is a hurry, it'll all come along in due time. The band has no interest in stressing things out, they go on gradually, giving blood were needed without ever straining themselves to a point of disdain of the once hobbyesque music making activity now becomed a more serious concern.

The greatest bands either adapt and become mainstream, or die fast after pavi...

 Two weeks ago, on a Saturday, Rancid Fairy , Booster Fawn , One Trillion Bees , Facades ,  Clifford The Duke and  Blackmagic played at la Sottorena. The next day,  Poolgirl played at Traxide with bands such as Birds Of Prrrey , Freshwax , and Heavenly Blue . Tonight, July 12th, Blackmagic, and Poolgirl will be playing with Steeple and other bands to support a great feminist fronted organizations. Now if you are still not convinced about seeing Poolgirl or be Blackmagic, here's my first impression on Poolgirl's live set and my night Saturday spent at the afterparty of the would have been The Patriarchy Show that was supposed to be hosted by Les Insoumises . The Patriarchy Show wasn't forgotten or anything it was simply cancelled due to outside performances and the bad weather not colliding well one another.  First of all, here's my impressions of Poolgirl, a band I'd heard of by name, but never had I peeked into their activities. Here's how it went.  Sun...
