Disappointment...trying too hard
by Anonymous on 12/20/12Club Nokia - Los angelesRating: 1 out of 5I know that die hard fans won't care how this band performs from one gig to the next but i'm not a die hard fan. I went in objectively. I got a couple of free tickets and since I hadn't heard any of their songs since the 90's, decided to check out their free ozokidz show to at least know what they look like. My friend who i brought had never even heard of them.. We loved the ozokidz performance because the interaction they had w the little ones seemed so sincere at the time. It was high energy and cute. But afterward, we got to meet them and they were a little boring and they seemed bored and inconvenienced too, like they didnt really want to have to deal w the kids album and they were just doing it because they needed to sell records. Not much to say and one of them even joked we were losers for coming to the kids concert. I laughed it off but I thought it was something a high school kid would say. I guess I just thought w their supposed social activism and their new kids album they would be more interesting and personable. But I still had high hopes and we were so excited for the real show. What a disappointment. It was like something out of a high school talent show. There was a lot of theatrics like martial artists and people in monkey costumes but the music just didn't hit the mark. I actually wished I hadn't gotten the free tickets in the end as sad as that may sound. The guy that wears the fedora kept doing pelvic thrusts and he's in his 40's. It was all so odd and it just didn't look natural. I used to think they were cool :(. After meeting them I'm not even sure their political activism is authentic or if it's just a way to get media attention. I've met a lot of political activists and they don't seem as concerned about being "cool" like these guys. Not trying to be mean just my honest opinion
