Who the fuck is
Maserati?
Maserati
is a son of a bitch hell bent on dismembering every last vestige of
the so-called indie rock establishment before it can drive the last
nail in its messenger-bag-wearing
coffin.
What the fuck am I talking
about?
This is not about me or your knowing about that of which I
speak. No, fair warriors, this is about the now sound of ass kicking
southern rock - a dynamic post-psychedelic orgy of hooks molesting
the tired cliche of math-prog. This is Pink Floyd for hipsters. This
is stoner rock for the working man. This is an ill-conceived bio for
a band beyond the comprehension of your puny earth minds and you
like it.
And while we are at it, fuck vocals - Maserati doesn't
have time for all that mess. Maserati is rocking a tight schedule
and they refuse to be bothered by the conventions of modern
rock-and-roll talking points like words... and front
persons.
Sure, I could tell you that in the year 2000 Coley
Dennis, Matthew Cherry, Steven Scarborough and Phillip Horan met in
a bedroom in Athens, Georgia to kill time kicking out the sans-vox
sound, then I could go on to discuss their time spent on the
now-defunct Kindercore label. I could potentially continue that trek
down memory lane and apprise you of the group's turn towards
psychedelic im-prog-visation when the 21st Century's answer to John
Bonham, Gerhardt Fuchs replaced Horan on the skins. But seriously,
what the fuck am I, Wikipedia?
This isn't about facts, this is about feelings, rock
hard feelings and Maserati is about nothing if not feeling... you...
all night long.
For real though, at the end of the day,
Maserati is the sum of her parts... her sweet, sweet mop-topped
parts - a mustachioed Brooklyn scene king, a big city architect, a
hard drinking college town booking agent and a wide-eyed idealist
from South Carolina. She is a fair-haired magical musical hinterland
where the quiet storm goes mano e mano with the thunderous beat of
10,000 Orcs hellbent for leather; a post-disco drone machine
bristling with the buzz-saw sound of 1,000 angry square waves
nestled on a California king size bed of shoegaze swirl. Seriously,
get your shit together and catch the live show, write the rave
review, buy the record and live the magic.
All night
long. |
