El Dingo at Kung Fu Necktie
I knew I was going to get around to El Dingo eventually (took my time though didn't I?) They're a three-piece band from NJ which mostly plays DIY shows, though they've been on a few bills at KFN recently, and they're just fun. They've got that mid 90's hard-rock-but-weird sort of sound. Some songs are a little funky, definitely some Primus influence on those, others are closer to psych rock. I'm pretty sure the ROCK part is what matters most though. They're loud, they're fun, and I wish they were more popular.
Looking at that first photo do you notice anything different about Kung Fu Necktie? They added some lightning on the ceiliing above the stage. That gives the stage a little more light and lets them do some really basic animations. Looks good doesn't it?
