At a concert, one can only trust the human that\u00a0they stand in front of to provide them with mesmerizing melodies and bodacious beats capable of ensuing a burst of emotions to be felt somewhere in the stomach, heart, or think-tank area.

I had heard some of the songs produced by Grim Repeater which is the tasteful work\u00a0of \u00a0KJHK’s own Doug Bybee before from an endearing friend who knows what good ear milk is. Upon initially hearing it, I was sold by the free use of hypnotic melodies on top of a solid bass rhythm. It reminded me of something off of a late night bump in between an Adult Swim program, sounds that one can get lost in with vocals that draw you in softly.<\/p>\n

For this\u00a0live performance, the\u00a0Grim Peter\u00a0shared the stage with bassist John McCain, electric guitarist Carlos Calderon\u00a0and drummer Tanner Spreer which highlighted the dynamics of the musical pieces. It was the first time that the\u00a0band\u00a0had performed together\u00a0in front of an audience yet a cool and collected persona\u00a0were they, prepared to lay out some musical fodder for the\u00a0beat-hungry audience.\u00a0The stage was full of good vibes that radiated outward into the crowd as they\"Doug started the night with dank harmonics from the synthesizer and\u00a0the guitar screeched and funked in melodic fusion with, as it naturally should be, the colorful bass and\u00a0rhythmic drums. I firmly appreciated the way vocals were\u00a0introduced into the performance as many of the\u00a0songs performed\u00a0truly were, in my humblest opinion, solid works of art without\u00a0vocals but the sporadic add-in of\u00a0the Grim Peter’s\u00a0soothing voice added a\u00a0stellar\u00a0and fulfilling touch to the show.<\/p>\n

Watching the artist at work was just the item needed at the end of a long week. Definitely the type of music one would listen to at the end of the day when\u00a0studying or trying\u00a0to settle thoughts and inner disputes. Or maybe at the beginning of the day as to start off with cerebral thoughts and peaceful vibes like that of a poifect bweckfest.\u00a0Or better yet, how\u00a0about anytime you’re in the mood for something that just stands for what good, colorful music should and can be? What should be known is that all\u00a0moments are solid, my friend. \"Grim<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
