All we have is our HEALTH
Two years ago I was hanging out backstage trying to divulge the secrets of the Smell from the drummer.
I knew some amazing stuff was coming out of L.A but I never expected it to be a futurist version of the lost art of math rock. So tech.
One year ago kids finally caught on. So much so that it felt like I was on the set of Teen Spirt - bodies flailing, rowdy crowd surfing, just capital "M" melee onstage and off. But the music we were moving to wasn't all melodic at all, oh it was dancey and poppy. No at the core it was actually just was noise, unadulterated fuzzed out noise.
HEALTH are the future of punk. dance. No, they are simply the future.
I just wish I could be there to see them trip out on Desi.
Oh followup: two years ago i gave the drummer the first Desi cd, one year ago Cherk got high with him and tonight they're playing with them.
If you miss this show all I can say is have fun loving in the past.
