The REAL Guitar Hero – David Powers

Filmed at Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, as part of Guitar Magazine’s “Guitar Hero 06′ Contest”.
Want more Powers? YES I DO!
ABOUT:
David Powers may have earned his stripes with raw guitar virtuosity – he was one of 3 finalists in Guitar Player Magazine’s “Guitar Hero 06′ competition – but impressing the likes of Joe Satriani, Steve Lukather and other hardened, celebrity judges (all of whom praised David for his playing, tone, guitar choice and performance) was only the beginning. Powers is an epic [...]

Synthesis Band You’ve Never Heard of Band of the Day: Yellow Fever
Posted on 17. Jul, 2008 by ryan in Band of the Day, Blog, Chico, Music
Austin, Texas, twosome Yellow Fever had little control over the dwindling crowd at Nick’s Night Club in Chico, California this week. The headliner had canceled, and the band was forced to bear the brunt of being a foreign act…in a foreign town…at a foreboding hour of the night.
With a simple setup of a drum kit, a keyboard atop it (manned by drummer/keyboardist Adam Jones) and a guitar and bass leaned lazily on a stand (to be plucked by vocalist/bassist/guitarist Jennifer Moore), the duo persevered and parlayed a slacker-rock Blitzkrieg that [...]
Synthesis Heaviest Band EVAR of the Day that you’ve never heard of but should like: BLACK SHEEP WALL
Posted on 14. Jul, 2008 by The Sloth in Art, Band of the Day, Blog, Lifestyle
Black Sheep Wall is a band from L.A. somewhere that I stumbled upon over the weekend. They are a doomy/sludgey band, and their riffs are so heavy they will knock your dick in the dirt. It’s dirty, grimey, sloppy, they tune to negative Z, and scream at the top of their lungs about 90% of the time – and it’s bad fucking ass. The copy of the album I got contained a burned CD that was spray painted black….and that was it. No song names, no contact info, nothing. And [...]
Synthesis Band You’ve Never Heard Of Band of the Day: Bridges
Posted on 30. Jun, 2008 by ryan in Band of the Day, Blog, Chico, Music
Formed from ex-members of Sacramento’s Mister Metaphor, Seattle, WA’s, Bridges are a progressive math-pop conglomerate with more syrup-sweet melodies than you can shake an abacus at. The band is currently on tour through mid-July on the West Coast, and last night melted the apathy of a cozy crowd at Chico, CA’s Cafe Coda.
The group played for about 40 minutes, without stopping for anything, fashioning a seemingly endless song, which was actually several seamless segues into different tunes. Think early Velvet Teen or don’t. If you live on the West, [...]
Synthesis Band You’ve Never Heard of… OF THE DAY!!!!1!- Strix Vega
Posted on 13. Jun, 2008 by Dallas VonKillbot in Band of the Day
After playing a sub-par show last night with my new act (*cough*clickhere*cough*), I was unloading our gear when I saw Strix Vega setting up for their set. What struck me wasn’t the 2 keyboards, 3 billion fx pedals or the 3 guitars for the trio, it was the giant 3 foot gong suspended upon a bass rig via a keyboard stand. I quickly changed my plans from going to bed to checking out the group.
Defined as soul (on their myspace page), I got a very prog, almost [...]
Synthesis Band You’ve Never Heard Of Band Of The Day: Ohshin
Posted on 10. Jun, 2008 by spencer in Band of the Day
Today we bring you Oshin, a New York indie rock four-piece that’s been in our inbox for a few months now. It seems that every time I went to blog about a new Band of The Day I’d listen to Ohshin and then fail to have anything of interest to write about them, or else get distracted by an office fire or a a pretty butterfly. But now I’m ready for their fretboard-tapping antics, sway-worthy musical vibe, Sunny Day Real Estate meets Dismemberment Plan songcraft and vaguely Thom York-esque vocal [...]

Former Synthesis Band You’ve Never Heard Of…OF THE DAY!!111, Russian Circles is up to some big shit. They’re new full length, the Matt Bayles-produced Station is basically one of the raddest records of ‘08, and after their current tour with Daughters, they are hitting the road with some random band named Coheed and Cambria. Check out an interview with the band on the front page and learn about the realest shit to come out of Chicago since Obama.
