SouthSide
Hey, blogspot readers, it’s part two of SouthSide’s adventures around town! This time it took her to Avondale’s legendary dive bar known as Live Wire where she had the extreme pleasure of meeting two power house female-fronted bands when their tour recently stopped in Chicago. And what this reviewer experienced from both bands was something more than just intense vocals and heart-pounding metal music. She experienced some raw emotions felt from each female singer from their unique vocal styles.
To kick things off
was the opening band, Black Cat Heart Attack, blogspot readers, to which this
reviewer (at first) had a hard time deciphering their music because it was all
over the map. Throughout the set, they touched metal, rock, alternative, grunge
and more yet somehow in a very strange way it worked! SouthSide found herself
digging this weird music vibe especially at the bridge when the band lets the
sound ride within a full 70s psychedelic wave. Add some rough throaty screamo
vocals and the classic Ozzy Osbourne Black Sabbath hand clapping type of
animated body language and stage presence, you got one hard rockin’ opening set
that finished with a loud bang, blogspot readers!
Reign of Z
This band draws upon her personal experiences from the exes in her life to domestic abusers like in the song Reflections. And with her stage presence, there’s no holding back in what she sings about these things from her past …her life story is an open book only if you dare to read, experience and feel what she felt at that moment of her life. Honestly, SouthSide has been there herself too. We all have at one point or another. Reign of Z’s performance had the Live Wire audience feeling every ounce of hate bubbling from the stage as it was meant to be – very hot and angry coming from deep inside This reviewer highly recommend checking out their latest single, Cellophane hearing it recorded did not prepare SouthSide for the live version. Also, meet and chat with Reign of Z before or after the show – they have plenty of tales to tell you about life on tour living out of the van (not down by the river …points if you know where that reference is from), blogspot readers.

Meanwhile, Modern
Mimes is another band, blogspot readers, this reviewer also highly recommend
checking out at their next live performance especially for its lead vocalist
Adi and her soulful sultry voice and expressive body language. And, yes, she
will make you feel each and every intense explosion of emotions through songs
like Facedown and Down & Dead. SouthSide was truly impressed when Modern
covered a Nine Inch Nails song yet making it their own with a splash of Soul
and Southern rock intertwining the hardcore metal sound. It definitely packed a
punch, blogspot readers, when they closed with Love Hate …a strong finish that
had everyone inside Live Wire feeling the intense double guitar/bass shredding
(by Ernesto who btw was fun to watch) and vocals. Too bad both sets were short
because this reviewer wanted more. For more information, visit http://modernmimes.com.
