When Bryan took the stage, he immediately gave the audience an adrenaline rush by ordering them to “get the fuck up!” and then ripped through a series of soulful numbers, many of them covers. People drank, smiled, swayed and probably reminisced about past tropical vacations before Dire Fire ended their show with a fast-paced number, “If it Ain’t Rock and Roll.” An all-around great performance from the youngest band of the night.īryan Bach & The Killing Season (comprised of Amanda Cox on drums and Michelle Garcia on bass) would fall under the “good ‘ol time bluesy rock and roll” genre if there was such a thing. Fender guitars in tow, they kept the audience engaged with a variety of smooth, mellow songs mixed sparingly with blues and rock tunes. Randy Campbell and Caleb Kallander, switching between vocals and lead guitar, played easy-listening grooves with well-harmonized choruses. The crowd filled in close to the stage to take in a short set of island rock. With (count ‘em!) five bands in the lineup, Dire Fire started the show promptly at 8:00pm, playing a surprisingly diversified set to an unexpectedly animated audience. The line to get into the venue stretched around the block, but the fan’s anticipation was strong enough to distract them from the current cold spell hitting the northwest. Headliner Puddle of Mudd hadn’t toured through Seattle in over two years, so the die-hard post-grunge enthusiasts were out en masse.
KISW 99.9 FM was the proud sponsor of an unusually strong lineup at El Corazon on December 17th.
