Description:
Quickly becoming one of Hollywood's most talked about bands, Simpler Machine has begun to have a cult following. This is the real deal, done for the right reasons, as the goal of this band is for it's audiences to either "Love or Hate, but never Forget" what they saw that night. "The band absolutely slams!" says Kansas City writer Wess Hudelson. "Simpler Machine ripped my fucking head off. Once the curtain went up my eyes were wide and my undies were soiled. From start to finish these five guys threw down! For more than 40 minutes this band threw themselves at the walls, at each other, and at the crowd of mostly scantily clad women." Kev-Mo, Rock City News, Los Angeles, Ca. Singer and "cut and paste" composer Jon Nicholson's Iggy Pop/Bowie/R. Plant stage presence and vocals constantly keep audiences off balance and entertained, while the "monkey beat" time changes and hooks in the songs are a view of what goes on in his insane-genius mind. Visionary guitarist, Dave Isaac, delivers melodic and constantly odd guitar "interpretations" which are consistently adding to and completing the enormous mass of sound emitting from the stage. Constantly bangin' his head off his shoulders, fellow guitarist Joey Sanchez, powers through tunes all the while breakin' strings and hammering out driving and screaming metal riffs, together they combine beautifully to color up and decorate this lethal Machine. The engine powering this train forward is a combination of bassist Anoush Saboktakin and drummer Jason Brunk. Newest member and destroying bass player, Anoush, who's stage presence equals being in the room with the Undertaker, has handled business seamlessly, adding a musicality, forward momentum and positive energy previously missed. Heavy hitter, Brunk, seemingly attempting to break everything, rounds out the five-some, bringing a foundation of groove and an endless barrage of notes back to the forefront of American rock. Drinks are bought and conversations halted as the band begins taking the crowd on an Acid trip of sorts. There are no weak links, you'll get more than your money's worth from the initial down beat until the show is over, if you haven't seen Simpler Machine, it's suggested that you catch their next show.
