MONO at Doug Fir

Originally uploaded by dieselboii.

Went to another stellar show last night at the mutha f’in Doug Fir. MONO, a post-rock band out of Japan wowed us with some great guitar work and a wall of sound. When they took the stage, I kept looking for a mic, only to discover there was no singing. They start most of their songs with melodic electric guitar work and the crescendo to a climax of raw rock- ala wall of sound. It wasn’t noise though as it had structure. It also had passion. Every member of the band showed they were into every bit of the performance. I haven’t seen that much intensity for awile. I am glad I threw my name out for the free tickets.

I love the Doug Fir. Check out MONO (myspace) (main site) and definitely catch them next time they roll through.
