June 18th: Sassafras and Backbiter at the Redwood Bar and Grill


Yesterday my band Leaking Pigs played our first show at the Redwood Bar and Grill with Sassafras and Backbiter. After us came Sassafras who, like always,  played a crazy set. Sailor screaming through most of the lyrics over the heavy and full riffs is just awesome and I really like their new line-up as a four-piece. They played some of my favorite tracks "Shipwrecked," "Eli," and "Piston Machine." Then came Backbiter, who now will have been playing for 20 years this October. Their genre jumped all over the place from jam-y to country-ish music. You can tell that these guys have been playing for 20 years because they are all very great players and their is an overall feel of them just being locked in together on their instruments. They really do know their stuff! It was a fun and great show and I have to thank Bob Cantu again for putting us on the bill and everyone should go check out his blog at: Babyjeepers.blogspot.com!
