I saw these guys at Southgate House this summer and loved them. This show was even better! With new material and a few covers, this is the ideal band to see in an intimate theater like 20th Century. I'll make a point to see them any time they're near.
One Eskimo is a unique band with a sound all their own. Very creative and entertaining.
After a friend bailed on me last minute, I thought about skipping this show. I decided to go by myself and wow, I'm glad I did....This show was excellent, I would definitely see them again! Hooray!
band has talent...needed better venue, better balance of vocal volume to instruments. Unique melodies and interpretative cover songs. Rendition of Kandi was fabulous...brought the house to the floor!
Had a fantastic time at this show. I had never heard of John Common & Blinding Flashes of Light and they totally won me over. Great songs and very personable on stage. I found out after the show, that they are a local band! I will be looking forward to seeing them around town. One Eskimo was great on stage. Very tight performance and the sound quality was clear as a bell. I would be happy to see them again. Both bands met with fans in the lobby after the show showing genuine appreciation and they really seemed to be enjoying themselves. That was a great way to end the show.
Why is it that when I go see a show at a small venue or club, it's almost always the opening act that blows me away??? This is how I discovered One Eskimo several months back, as an opening act for Gomez. I liked them enough to go see them as a headliner and wasn't nearly as impressed. They have clearly matured (grown tired?) in the six months since I saw them last. The drummer was the highlight as he was before. He has clearly invested in new technology and a fancy new cymbal array. One Eskimo should be super thankful they have him. They played 45 minutes and cut several songs down from their album length destroying at least one great track ('Amazing') which runs 4:45 on the CD. They did it in about one minute. As to the opening act, John Common and Blinding Flashes of Light... great, simply great. A mellow sound, a great look and talent, talent, talent all over the stage. Sometimes when you see a great band for the first time you are disappointed by their CD and sometimes its the other way around. I gotta say, I bought two of their 3 CDs at the show and was REALLY impressed not only by the musicality of the CDs but also the very high recording standards they had. I have heard WAY LESS professional recordings from major label acts. If these guys are in your area, GO SEE THEM! You won't be disappointed.
Amazing! These guys have their own unique sound and are very talented! They even did some Pink Floyd. Great lead singer and the drummer was outstanding and fun to watch.
I bought tickets knowing I wanted to see One eskimO. I left the Bluebird wanting and wishing I had more John Common & Blinding Flashes of Light. One eskimO put on a great show but it's always great learning and seeing another band in action. John Common and the rest of his band sang with passion.
I knew very little about this group before I went to see them. I only knew their song Kandi and was prepared for a one-hit wonder experience. We were floored to find out right away that they were exceptional musicians each one. The band was tight, their music crisp and clean, and the overall sound seemed like a room full of band members. I'd never seen a bass player play horns at the same time. The drummer was imaginative in his use of a nonconventional drum set up. The guitarist picked like he was born with one in his hand but also was great with the slide. They not only play their own great songs but also did the best cover of Wish You Were Here that I've ever heard. The singing was resonant as well. These guys will make it big, no doubt. Glad to see them in a small venue.
I've been loving this band and their music for the past few months, and it was lovely to see them and hear their amazing sound in person at the Aladdin in Portland! I imagine they will be filling up much larger venues by this time next year, so if ya want to see them in a more intimate setting, I definitely recommend catching their current Fall tour!!
