Allah-Las Leave Them Wanting More at Webster Hall on Wednesday Night
Alla-Las – Webster Hall – April 17, 2024
In this age of lasers, massive LED screens, backing tracks and effect-laden synthesizers, a no-frills concert can feel like the bolder statement. Playing a packed Webster Hall on a rainy Wednesday night, Los Angeles rockers Allah-Las were decidedly no frills, lo-fi and all the better for it. The band lead off with “The Stuff,” the opening track off last year’s Zuma 85 release, almost purely rhythm with a steady drumbeat, the jangliest of guitars and understated monotone vocals. A pair of small screens bracketed the stage with analog slide projectors displaying simple abstract shapes, few frills, plenty of rock with a short surf-guitar solo to end the first tune.
From there, they bounced around their catalog, short-but-sweet garage rock evoking a bygone era when a pair of guitars, drums, bass and keys — and a headlong spirit — would suffice to get a club moving. “Tell Me (What’s on Your Mind)” opened with an extended noodling instrumental before dropping into a straight-heat love song. As the set went on, the projections took on more colors and shapes matching an evolving sound: Warm orange for the vocal harmonies, crisp blue for the tight changes, abstract squiggles of guitar and splotches of bass and drums.
Lead vocals were passed around from guitarists Miles Michaud and Matthew Correia to drummer Pedrum Siadatianon the dreamy psychedelia of “Prazer em Te Conhecer” off 2019’s LAHS release. Like any good rock band playing Webster Hall, Allah-Las made excellent use of the disco ball, adding an otherworldly feel to the surfy desert blues of “Sacred Sands” and a sun-dappled effect to the layered, lazy melodies of “Catalina.” The set closed with a cover of Mazzy Star’s “Blue Flower,” the lyrics “Superstar in your own private movie / I just wanted a minor part” perfectly nestling between the band’s irresistible low-key vibe and the large, cheering crowd calling for more. —A.

Ανταπόκριση: The Allah-Las @ Τεχνόπολη, 16.09.2023
Ένα πολυσυλλεκτικό βράδυ για όλα τα γούστα είχαν τη χαρά να απολαύσουν όσοι βρέθηκαν το περασμένο Σάββατο στην Τεχνόπολη. Σε τρία διαδοχικά performances που κανένα δεν ξεπέρασε τα 70 (γενναία εκτίμηση) λεπτά, ο Antonin (45′), οι Underground Youth (50′) & οι Allah-Las (70′) έβαλαν τα καλά τους και προσπάθησαν να ζεστάνουν το κοινό, που γέμισε σταδιακά τον προαύλιο χώρο.

Live Review: Manchester Psych Fest 2 September 2023
Words: Ben Forrester (BF) / Andy Hughes (AH)
AH: There really is a lot to be said for the inner-city music festival. Birthday Cake For Breakfast pretty much found its footing via Manchester’s A Carefully Planned Festival, a yearly extravaganza with a slick booking team who seemed to hit the right spot time and time again. Over the years we’ve ventured further afield for the likes of Tramlines in…
