Playground Slap at O'Connell's

Go check out Playground Slap with special guest Mike Keneally. I really like them, but I'll be watching Weird Al over at the San Diego County Fair.

Playground Slap will also be playing at the San Diego County Fair this summer so go there too!

O'Connell's is located on 30th and Adams, I think. :)

Kinda Review - Playground Slap

Well, we went to the Triple Crown Pub, but we showed up late. We had to have that last bit of beer before we got there and well, you know how parking can be insane. We walked in and they were saying good bye. I was pretty bummed as this may have been their last live show - so the rumour goes. But who knows. I'm all for another show. I've seen them before and they were great to listen to and dammit, I want to hear them AGAIN! Come on Playground Slap - one more time?

I haven't been to the Triple Crown Pub in forever and I completely forgot how loud it can get in there. The second band (closer?) came on and man was it loud. The room is small, so you don't need a lot of power in there to get your point of cross. At times it was too muddy because it was so loud, you coudn't distinguish what was going on and in my opinion, it drowned out the lead singers vocals. I left after the thrid or fourth song. My poor ears couldn't handle it.

Playground Slap at Triple Crown Pub

If you've missed them the last couple of times they've performed, go see them on Saturday, April 21st. Playground Slap will be playing at the Triple Crown Pub located at 3221 Adams Ave, SD, 92116. Their Myspace says the show starts at 10pm. I'll be there. I mean, after all it is walking distance from my house.

Their special guest for the night will be Mike Keneally!

I went to the Casbah on Sunday, March 18th and I got a great surprise. We went to see Playground Slap. I didn't have any expectations coming to the show, but I was excited. It's a friend of a friend's band.

I didn't know who else was playing but when Addiquit took the stage and owned it, I was quite surprised. I wasn't sure if I was going to like her or not, but she did a great job. I really enjoyed her raps. She said some funny shit and most of it were real things that people shy away from.

She had some guy onstage helping her with the music, but she outted him at the end saying she didn't know the guy. Is this true, who knows? But it was funny. I really liked the tank top she was wearing. I didn't take any pictures of her. I should have, but I was distracted. Damn. I'd like to see her in a different venue, perhaps The Kensington Club? I wonder what type of people would go and see her there. I'm a new fan.

Playground Slap was on next and they had some gear on stage. It was impressive. They were more of a funk rock band. They were all older gents. This was their first show in 18 years. What? 18 year hiatus? I know! But they were great. There was one point when the mood came down a little. It wasn't because the music was bad, it was just too trippy and slow. But all in all, I had a good time.

I unfortunately missed Lesley and the Lys. I was tired, the hater was tired and I had to work in the morning. So off we went to bed.
