Hey, blogspot readers, SouthSide's now at Elbo Room just in time to check out the rockin' as well as eclectic music of Alice Sweet Alice (cool Brooke Shields movie reference for a band name). From Kansas City, this band brought its blend of &quot;electro&quot; (off the keyboard) and &quot;postpunkadelic&quot; (off the guitars and drums) sound for a late-night performance. This reviewer enjoyed the lively kick heard within the edgy rock sound ...the bursts of energy instantly grabbed her attention inside the epic feel within each Alice song. At times, there was a fiery essence wafting from the guitar riffs and Ali Kat's vocals sparking that energetic vibe and momentum. Yet during the other times, SouthSide felt the crisp chill of the haunting momentum and rhythmic groove when Scott (on bass) took lead on vocals. This also brought out the dark psychedelic side of Alice's music to light ...more vibrant with a steady heart-pounding metal chords. Enthralled by the band's darkness, SouthSide rocked to songs such as Legends and Ambola (off Alice's current CD). She also suggests checking out Flight of Tonight and set closer Weeping Lily (a rockin' BANG of hard hitting riffs and dynamic vocals by Ali). SouthSide was thoroughly impressed by Alice's Chicago debut even though having some minor technical difficulties, blogspot readers, and she hopes they make a return appearance (or more) again in 2011.

...Guess we're no longer in Kansas...

Hey, blogspot readers, SouthSide's now at Elbo Room just in time to check out the rockin' as well as eclectic music of Alice Sweet Alice (cool Brooke Shields movie reference for a band name). From Kansas City, this band brought its blend of "electro" (off the keyboard) and "postpunkadelic" (off the guitars and drums) sound for a late-night performance.

Stay tuned!! Scott, ASA

This August, ASA added Billy Brown on Drums, Tyler Klein on Lead and Rhythm Guitars, and Alan Hicks on Guitars and Synth Guitars. Billy is a hard-hitting drummer that has been playing since the age of 12.&nbsp; He will also be adding songwriting to the mix with his piano playing ability, along with his soundtrack experience and acting abilities (presumably for our videos!) Tyler Klein comes fresh from the Kansas City MO Conservatory of Music, with a background in Classical and Jazz guitars.&nbsp; Alan Hicks adds years of guitar experience and technical prowess to the mix, completing the lineup. Look for ASA playing sometime by the end of 2009 in a town near you!!!
