Graveface Records has put on quite a show at the Turf Club last Saturday, June 18th.
The Graveface Road show brings to town The Casket Girls in support of their new release The Night Machines; their fourth release and third full length LP. I was looking forward to seeing them and it was amazing.
Dott has gone through a lot of changes and are now a duo singer/songwriter/guitarist Anna McCarthy and guitarist Evan O'Connor ... and according to their Soundcloud, they relocated to Toronto, Canada, from Ireland. They have that guitar-driven garage sound that just makes you want to listen. Their set list included songs from their 2013 release Swoon on Graveface Records.
Note on Dott: I was hoping to hear their 2016 free Record Store Day cover of David Bowie’s ‘Heroes’ but they didn’t play it.
The Casket Girls came on the stage all dressed up in their traditional dark attire with the famous glasses and began playing ‘Beyond a Shadow’. Their voices blend so well together and they play off of each other in there poses that they have for many of their songs. For example, ‘Sleepwalking’ later on during the set saw many of their statue moves, the synchronicity between them was amazing. The highlights of the show were the middle of the set were they were mixing up playing guitar and just having fun doing what they do best. Between songs like ‘24 Hours’ and ‘16 Forever’ nice meshing with the crowd, the biggest highlight is the one thing that ‘Tears of a Clown’ was played last, and it was awesome. During the last few minutes of the show, they came out and gave hugs to many in attendance, a nice way to enjoy a good concert. There drummer for this event was Henry from Stardeath and White Dwarfs.
Stardeath and White Dwarfs closed out the show by taking the stage by storm. Guitar-driven songs just laid out beautifully with a touch of electronic sound to keep the psychedelic sound that they are known for. This was a jam session just so much fun to watch. From the beginning with ‘Frequency’ and ‘Screaming’, you could tell from the sound and how they performed that this was something special One of the highpoints was the song ‘On The Run’ part of the project with the Flaming Lips and others for the Dark Side of The Moon Tribute. Their energy and enthusiasm for what they were playing could be heard and felt throughout the performance, you could really see this on the last song, ‘Sea is on Fire’, I was hoping that they would have played a little more and I think so were some of the other people around.
Note: Dennis Coyne the lead singer of Stardeath and White Dwarfs is the nephew of The Flaming Lips singer Wayne Coyne, he showed up near the end of the set, the Lips were playing at Rock the Garden at Boom Island earlier in the day.
It was a great show and I would personally like to thank Graveface Records for putting on the show. Wonderful music and hope to see another traveling show soon.
