Here’s another set of killer harmony guitar leads, terrible jokes and the most pavement sounding songs I have heard outside of pavement(that’s a compliment). It’s the Anime Aliens! I was at the Colonial Cafe for the Dearly Divided show, but the timing worked out and I was able to catch this show too.

Dearly Divided came over from Oakland to play the Cafe. They are a great band (check out their bandcamp page) but it was a bit too loud for the tiny Cafe. Yet another show that made my ears ring even though I had earplugs in. Their drummer – aaron- is incredibly talented. The video is worth a watch just to see him playing fast properly.

Comments by Keely Dorran: Rob Sneddon on lead vocals/guitar in Sky Pig; excited about this band. Rob played guitar/vocals for Boneback (with Penny Kinsella, lead vocals/songwriter, now based in LA) in the mid-1990s, great hard rock/metal band that’s still missed in these parts.
Sky Pig describe themselves as a “loud, doomy 3 piece from Sacramento.”
Line up:
Rob Sneddon – Guitar/Main Vox
Nick Baumgartner – Drums/Vox
Jude Croxford – Bass/Vox
