Nico Vega/Johnossi/Shout Out Louds at the Fine Line Cafe in Minneapolis
 ♥ Setlist |
 ♥ Aja |
So I went to see a few bands played last night. Two were from Sweden, but the best (performance-wise), I thought was Nico Vega, from Los Angeles, California.
They’re a three-piece band that sounds kind of like a thrash/rap/hard
rock band, but what really impressed me was Aja’s bold leotard outfit.
You can’t tell from the photo, but she’s also barefoot.
Apparently this is the common attire, looking at their myspace photos.

Johnossi are two guys, John and Ossi. John plays what seems like
an electric acoustic guitar, I don’t know if that makes any sense. Its
shape and hollow center looks like an acoustic guitar, but the sounds
it makes isn’t acoustic…
Anyway, they
sort of reminded me of The White Stripes, only because they’re a
guitar/drums combo. Plus this song “Man Must Dance” sounds uncannily
like the ‘Stripes.

Finally, the Shout Out Louds
came on stage. I can’t fault the band for this, but there were a few
annoying fans ones singing out loud, or should I say “shout out loud”
the lyrics to their favorite songs. You can always tell which songs
were the new/obscure songs whenever those fans shut up.
On CD,
Adam’s vocals sounds like Robert Smith (The Cure), but when he’s
singing live, it just sounds very whiny. I thought it was annoying, but
obviously I’m the only one that thought this because judging from the
audience cheers and sing-a-along, no one noticed or cared.
There was one song that the keyboard/accordion player stepped in to sing, which was a pleasant change.

Special thanks to Michelle, who provided all the setlists.
