We saw Soul Glo and Chat Pile at the Granada tonight, along with Vigra, a three piece from Lawrence, Kansas. All three bands were great; Soul Glo was particularly engaging. This was the last show of the first leg of Chat Pile's tour for their new album, "Who Loves The Sun?" Our second time seeing Chat Pile.
Vigra opened. Thick bass and solid drumwork drove their set, with dissonant guitar and haunting vocals. Their new single just came out today on Bandcamp:
Soul Glo was on fire. They had their new album "NA I'M GON GRAB ALLAT" for sale, even tho it doesn't release until January. But when we went back for it, they had sold out already. Lead singer was screaming so hard he had to hit his inhaler a couple of times:
And Chat Pile are the children of Jesus Lizard, Nirvana, and Pantera. Just truly bitchin' confluence of noise rock and metal. I listened to the new album on streaming the other day and felt it is their strongest to date.
