No band subscribes to that attitude better than Santa Fe band The Late Severa Wires. What the hell was I watching? I'm down with noise bands, but it's also cool when a music project tries to be, you know, musical. The Late Severa Wires members played like they didn't know what they were doing. It was almost as if each member was in his own world playing something different.

Perhaps I just wasn't "hip" enough to be into it, but this junk-heap of sounds totally brought my show-going experience to a screeching halt. I had no desire to stay for another instant and left wondering why the band would want to kill the mood after a dance party. I also wondered why they wanted to min any chance a touring band may have had for a raucous and enthusiastic crowd. I honestly wanted to see Health but when you've just been through such a musically traumatizing experience, it's hard to get over it.
