Los Coast

One Liner: YouTube only, some raw funky live shows.

Poster Position: 22

Thoughts:  This band is not available on Spotify, but their ACL bio says "Los Coast's music is a punchy, psych-tinged, lyrical variety of rock and soul."  Mmmkay.  According to the bio they have an album out, I guess they are just taking a stand for the quality of their music like Neil Young, as you can't find anything on Spotify.  They have a few live performance videos on YouTube, each with less than 1,000 views (except for the next one, because I just jammed it three times to make sure they broke the 1k plateau!  Thank me later!)

That one is called "Monsters," and is a good enough little groove of a rock song.  No comments on the video, which just looks weird.  But eight likes and 1 dislike, so WINNING! Here is another live video of them playing, apparently at Maggie Mae's during SXSW in 2016, doing a smeared up cover of The Clash's "Train in Vain."

I mean, that is an excellent song.  That particular version sounds like the singer is inside of a mattress that is sinking into Lady Bird Lake, but its a solid choice of cover for sure.  The three other tracks available on YouTube have the sound of a relatively funky rock band that is pretty basic on the groovy bass line, a negligible guitar part, and not bad overall sound. But frankly, hard to know what they really sound like with just those as examples.  Like this one, "Weekend Lover," get that funk going:

I doubt I'll go see them, but I bet they may very well be fun to watch do that funky thing in person.
