Garbett Homes Fork Fest was a wonderful place. Free indie music all day long. I had the opportunity to hear amazing music in so many different styles. One band I was very impressed with was Location Location. After they played, the friends I was with could not stop talking about them-they were definitely a favorite of the day. And that's saying a lot considering there was over 30 artists.
The style of the Utah based band is unique, they use a variety of instruments to create an almost techno song. Usually Techno isn not my favorite, the the way it is composed makes it work so nicely. Not only is the music nice, but the lead singer has an incredible voice. It is smooth and the high belting notes come to easy and impressively. His voice has a lot of emotion in it when he sings, which is also extremely impressive. Overall the band had an amazing talent for composing songs, the synthetics, drums, guitars, vocals, all could have been overdone in one way or another, but it has such a nice blend.
Jamie Gadette, of City Weekly praised them by saying, "(...) a seamless dash across a frostbitten digital landscape. Snow Covered Morning opens like a slow thaw, with Bently’s warm, textured baritone draping over the title track’s crackling-icicle transmission. "
When we congratulated the band after the show they were extremely humble. In fact, they seemed unsure of their music, not as confident as I would have imagined. The band has been in the business for a while but hasn't really grown popular too far out of Utah. That was a surprise.
I recommend checking them out on their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/locationlocation.
They are way to talented to remain a local band. Check them out, listen to their music, dance to it. You will be impressed I'm sure.
