No, I'm not talking about a Korn-sized band. I'm just saying, here in the city, I wonder who the next really popular band in the Bakersfield music scene is going to be? (let's hope they all are). I've read about The Nature, The Architecture, Buffalo Season, even listened to a podcast interview with Alex Mitts, and promoted my kid Landen Belardes. But who else is out there? I've heard a few band names. Maybe five or six indie groups that are old timers, new on the scene and/or fading away.
It's what's really cool about the music scene. You never know who, out of all the awesome musicians in town, will suddenly form a band and forge some new sound. Or who will really take an existing band to the next level. Will it be Velorio? Colin Cook's band The Volume, Isaiah Navarro, or something new and grand from Mento Buru, Whiskey Galore or 1916? Heck, I even heard Liars and Thieves were coming back. Could this be true, Mr. Galindo?
Stay tuned. This is the Eyes and Ears blog signing out...
