We really enjoyed the show but something was up with the sound mix. We could not hear the vocals well, they seemed muddled and not very clear. We've seen a fair number of shows at the Aladin and never noticed this issue before. Otherwise it was great!
I saw One eskimO for the first time at the Earth Day concert. This band is even better in concert then they are on their CD. We just saw them at the Aladdin last Friday and again they were amazing. I have to say though, I enjoyed their more acoustic show at Earth Day concert then I did the more production concert they had Friday. We were treated to 3 new song that gave us a taste of how good the new CD will be when it comes out. After the concert they stayed and talked to their fans. What a bunch of nice guys!
You cannot help but enjoy listening to this band. I was blown away by these guys walking onto the stage, picking up their instruments and then doing what they love - making music. There is no pretenses or airs about them - nothing showy or made up - just good music that they are talented enough to write themselves. Every song is different and well done. The trumpet that is added in on some of the songs makes them (even though the guitarist is playing the trumpet and the guitar at the same time!). During a couple of the songs one member sings a falseto overlay that is truly beautiful - You cannot go wrong if you go see this up and coming group.....what I couldn't figure out is why there weren't more people there.........Also loved the trumpet, drummer and the falseto.......every band member added alot, each is very talented. The warm up band was awsome too!
One eskimO is definitely on their way! They have a very cool unassuming stage presence with the spot light being shared equally amongst these 4 very talented musicians. They performed many of the songs from their debut CD as well as a Totally Awesome rendition of the Pink Floyd Cover. The horn, a vital anchor to their sound, was sometimes lost in the acoustics but whatever! They were still GREAT! In the end, no one was left sitting! The only suggestion I would offer would be to loose the motorcycle headlight. It was so bright I had to put my hand up to shade my eyes so I could see the band and the drummer was invisible behind the glare. The solo drum piece with the glowing sticks were barely visible due to the bright headlight, too bad because I am sure it would have been AWESOME! I would go to see them again, and will! Great band, great venue. Thank you.
One eskimO was very fun! the theater was nice, and the opening bad was cool too!
Kristian, lead singer, Pete Guitar, Jaime, base & horn, Adam, percutionist. OK there is A LOT to say, What an AWSOME GROUP OF DOWN HOME BRITS!!!!! The true to recording quality of their perfprmance was undeniabley the finest in "like ever" I have heard out of a new band in a long time. Their rendition of "Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here",O!M!G! I was looking for the flying pink pig! these boys are going to go far and I feel honored to have been able to be a part of their time here in Portland. They are very gracious and kind not to mention REAL. If you all get a copy of this Katlyn, Kyra, Kammi and Carey say Thank You So Much for a experience of a life time. Its all the girls,all of us, have been talking about.
I had heard a couple of their songs on Kink fm radio and liked them. Looked them up on the internet to find out more about them. Found their CD at Borders and love it! Found out they were playing in Portland so we bought tickets. Most of the people I talked to haven't heard of them. I had posted video clips of their songs "Kandi" and "Amazing" on my facebook page to get friends to listen. Got alot of "Like" responses. Wasn't sure what kind of audience age-wise they would attract. We're in the mid 40's crowd. There was a wide range of ages there, teens to older than us. The concert was awesome! My husband loved the Pink Floyd song they did. Even the opening band Honeychild was good! Hope to hear more music from One eskimO in the near future!
The guys are amazing musicians. The lighting guy does a great job of making the show even more exciting. The drummer's set up is awesome! He also does some keyboard work. I can't believe the bass player is also the horn player and a few other things. The guitarist is spot-on perfect. The songs were exactly what I'd hoped for. It was worth waiting out in the freezing cold in Portland, OR for the extra 40 minutes needed for sound check. What would've made my rating a 5 star is if they hadn't had their warm-up band come out at all AND if we hadn't have had to wait the extra time in the freezing cold.
