Pedicab/Eets Feats

The other day I went to Pedicab Monday. Every Monday Pedicab bar has ladies night before 11pm. This ladies night includes vodka shots and dollar off selected beers meaning, for those interested, ladies receive a free shot as they walk in, every Monday except this past one of course.

Pedicab is a really casual cyclists bar, family friendly in the heart of southtown, right next to blue star district. Also, on Monday they have 10 cent wings. I don't care about this being vegan and all but others are like "OMG 10 cent wings!!!!111one".

Anyway I'm going to Pedicab Mondays with a friend and I noticed the hip-hop dj is outside...strange they usually keep him in the sauna (aka inside). Oh this is another reason I go on Mondays it is hip hop night. I really enjoy the resident DJ there and the atmosphere of the bar. We go inside and the shots bucket/container is not there…darn. Bought an overpriced beer for me and my mate then noticed a band was setting up on the stage inside. Oh how cool we’ve casually showed up to a show. So, this was a punk show with a lot of big name local bands including Sticky Bandits and Nightmare something, I don't remember. We only stayed for one band though and it wasn’t either of them. It was a group from Austin/San Antonio (according to their myspace) called Eets Feats. I went to lengths to find out their name.

Obviously this is a punk band that I have never heard of before. I am not in the punk scene and I usually only see bands that I know personally, so it makes sense that I am unfamiliar with this band. I prefer to do reviews on bands that I don’t frequently see that’s why I have haven’t done a review for Hydra Melody, Grasshopper Lies Heavy, Daytes, Sohns, Deer Vibes, Tryptic, I don’t know who else. But I see those bands all the time.

So this punk band, which isn’t part of “my scene”, consists of three high school looking boys. They sound like a typical band of this genre. A loud sound, screamy vocal, and a solid beat. I felt that I could get lost in the beat, and I did, for the alternative was to listen to my friend complain. She didn’t like the Pedicab’s relaxed atmosphere; she prefers the bustle of The Flying Saucer. Anyway it reminded me of my hardcore days and getting lost in the energy. The moment they started everyone stood up to watch them play; people there were very loving, friendly, really enjoyed the band. In contrast to the shows I frequent that are very pretentious and people are trying to like or dislike the band more than the next person. It’s a different feel and a refreshing take on a show. Although I, in most cases, do not like punk music I would go see this band again. For the crowd and the band.
