So I was riding my bike to go pick up a Paris Baguette brownie, and a coffee from Dunkin.
Then I heard some awesome wailing from across the river. I looked over the bridge and saw some fire.
The music sounded a bit like the now split up group "At the Drive in."
When I got to the show I was treated to about ten minutes of kick ass.
It was a four piece band, guitar/vocalist, back up guitar, bass, and drums. It was kick ass.
The band had a small group of teenagers and college students hand-banging (I know that sounds dirty, they had their right hands up and were pointing in a swaying motion as if they were head banging.)
A mother and two toddlers were off to the right. The lead singer took a moment from rocking his balls off to let one of the toddlers take a few riffs on his axe. He then shared with the big kids.
A serendipitous moment where I couldn't stop grinning the whole time. I only got to see about three songs before their set ended, so I asked the sound guys the name of the band.
국카스탠, Guckasten. Here's a sample:
Some college girls passed me and said, "너무 멋지서." (That fucking rocked...well it means "that was cool," but I knew what they meant.)
Update:
I learned that Guckkasten is German for Zograscope, according to "Last F.M." A Zograscope is a device that you use to gain depth perception on paintings. Fucking baddass. A band with a German name for something that heightens perception.
