I've been wanting to go back to Hotel Cafe again ever since the last time I was there to witness Grandaddy's last performance in LA.
Val Emmich
I arrived a bit late and missed his first song. I guess 7:30pm isn't a peak hour for the Metro. :\ The rest of his set was good though. He has a really good range and his voice was loud and clear even when he wasn't that close to the mic. He was very entertaining on stage and shared stories and he was appreciative of his fans who showed up to talk to him and take pictures. Here's his myspace.
Alyssa Suede
was pretty bad. She was a blond who took off her wig to reveal hair that wasn't any better than the bad wig. I had to admire the large amount of people they were able to fit onto the stage, but no matter how many instruments they had, it didn't improve their sound. The sound system was also a bit off, but so was her voice and some of the lyrics were really corny.
Keaton Simons
was too country for me. I wasn't really into it. A kind of liked it though. Not sure why she did.
I was at the gig and Alyssa was amazing. Afterwards I overheard tons of people saying how amazing the night was. I guess everyone has their own take on things. But if you like really fun music and want to get an emotional rush - go see Alyssa Suede!
