Jon Campbell, our face-melting lead guitarist has discovered a very fun group out of Irvine. No surprise that Young the Giant is full of big drums, loud guitars, and lots of reverb in the mic.
This year our drummer, Justin Curtis, got introduced to lots of genres of music he was always afraid to try in the past. He had quite the experience the first time he listened to Adele's "Someone Like You" as he was surfing facebook on a sleepless night; needless to say the tears flowed freely. With her haunting voice and powerful lyrics Adele has become one of his absolute favorite.
But luckily, ever since Justin became a Lovecapade he has had Colin to show him how amazing real rock music can be. They both have been listening to the new Foo Fighters album, Wasting Light, practically non-stop.
Colin, our British front-man/Dave Grohl wannabe, has been all over the European sounds coming from The Vaccines and Frank Turner. The Vaccines have a very modern approach to a classic sound that has to be heard to understand.
And then there is Frank Turner, when you hear this you'll understand why Colin's guitar goes through more strings than Sally's fabric store.
So, there are some of the fun times we've had this year. But no Lovecapades web log entry about our favorite sounds would be complete without our favorite summer jam. This is what gets us ready for every show we play!
Happy New Year, and much love!
