Caveman are a...man..I have a hard time describing them, not because they are so oddball or out there but because all the descriptions and genres sort of mean nothing these days. I could say "low-fi" because they have that vaguely noisy, almost ambient tinge that some bands who "did battle" under that moniker had.  They could also be called "indie rock" but that has never really meant anything when it comes to sound has it?

So I suppose I will call it melodic indie lo-fi. From now on, that is what I am doing, making up fake genres. Wait..I do that already. You can find out what the band sounds like on your own when they physically release CoCo Beware on November 15, 2011 (September 13 digitally). You can also check out a track below.


Caveman's Old Friend

Caveman lost their drummer before this gig. They did not misplace him. He had to head to the hospital for some reason. I am betting no one would have know, they brought in someone else from NYC and had The War On Drugs drummer sit in on the last several songs. It isn't an accident that that is when the set really took off. The last two songs might have been the evening's highlight.
OK so I do actually SHOOT photos at places OTHER than Schubas. It just seems to work out that bands I shoot seem to always PLAY there. I am not complaining. Schubas is a pretty good place to see, and hear, a show. It is not always the most fun place to try to take photos, Other people seem to get decent shots. I wonder what the problem is? Hmmm.
