Local Band Spotlight By Marissa DiPilla There is a really good band based out of Philadelphia called The Defog, whom some of you might remember as the band with whom The Rider Vibes sang on Radio 104.5 in October. Thanks to my sister’s friendship with the band, I was the connection between Vibes and The Defog. The Defog has a show every once in a while, and my sisters and I caught their most recent gig with three other bands at The Fire in Philadelphia. There were two bands that we arrived too late to see. One was called Mirador, out of Philadelphia. The other was Revolution, I Love You, also out of Philadelphia. We finally caught up with the show at around 11:30 PM with Herra Terra, an electronic rock band out of Boston. We had seen Herra Terra play with The Defog a year ago at the Kung Fu Necktie (Philly bars have great names, eh?), and absolutely loved them. Herra Terra reminds me of a fusion of Muse (my personal favorite), and 30 Seconds to Mars. Although I’m not a huge fan of voice distortion by way of talkboxes or autotuners, it only accounted for a small portion of their set. Otherwise, the lead singer had an amazing voice. Once again, I’ll cite Muse in the way that the lead singer was reminiscent of Matthew Bellamy. Each member of the band is clearly extremely skilled at their respective instruments, and the guys play well together. After the set we grabbed a few of their three-track CDs. I definitely encourage everyone to check them out! The Defog was up last around 12:30, and the crowd grew as they set up the stage. They played a good combination of songs, both old and new. I was excited to hear them play “Kaleidoscopes” off their newest album, because it was one of the songs Vibes had sung with them on the radio. As a true choir geek, I couldn’t resist singing my part along to the thankfully loud music. I always enjoy watching each of the guys on their respective instruments, and this show was no different. As a singer, I especially love to listen to lead singer Chuck Stieg, because he sounds so good live! One of the best things about watching these guys play together (aside, of course, from their great music) is their onstage banter. Offstage, all four of the musicians are hilarious, and their humor is evident onstage as well. The Defog plays a handful of shows every year, and I definitely think the trips to Philadelphia are worth it. I definitely encourage you to find them on Facebook, like them, and attend at least one of their shows. You will not be disappointed!

Spotsolas Band Áitiúil Ag Marissa DiPilla Tá banna gur maith bunaithe as Philadelphia a dtugtar an Defog, a d'fhéadfadh roinnt de leat cuimhneamh ar an banna lena canadh an Vibes Rider ar Raidió 104.5 i mí Dheireadh Fómhair. Buíochas le mo dheirfiúr ar chairdeas leis an mbanna, bhí mé ar an nasc idir Vibes agus an Defog. Tá an Defog seó gach uair amháin ar feadh tamaill, agus mo dheirfiúracha agus rug mé a gig is déanaí le trí bannaí eile ag an Dóiteáin i Philadelphia. Bhí dhá bhanda a tháinig muid ró-dhéanach a fheiceáil. Glaodh amháin Mirador, as Philadelphia. Ba é an Réabhlóid eile, I love you, freisin as Philadelphia. Rug muid ar deireadh suas leis an seó ag thart ar 11:30 PM le Herra Terra , le banna rac-cheol leictreonach as Boston. Raibh feicthe againn Herra Terra imirt leis an Defog bliain ó shin ag Necktie an Kung Fu (barraí Philly bhfuil ainmneacha mór, eh?), Agus go hiomlán grá dóibh. Reminds Herra Terra dom ar chomhleá de Muse (mo is fearr leat pearsanta), agus 30 soicind go Mars. Cé nach bhfuil mé ar lucht leanúna mór de saobhadh guth ar mhodh talkboxes nó autotuners, cuntas sé ach amháin le haghaidh ar chuid bheag de a leagan síos. Seachas sin, bhí an t-amhránaí luaidhe le guth iontach. Uair amháin eile, beidh mé cite Muse ar an mbealach go raibh an amhránaí luaidhe reminiscent Matthew Bellamy. Tá gach ball den bhanna go soiléir thar a bheith oilte ag a n-ionstraimí faoi seach, agus an guys imirt go maith le chéile. Tar éis an leagan rug muid ar roinnt de na trí-rian dlúthdhioscaí. Mé cinnte a spreagadh do gach duine chun iad a sheiceáil amach! An Defog bhí suas go deireanach ar fud 12:30, agus an slua fhás mar atá leagtha siad suas an stáitse. Bhí siad le meascán maith d'amhráin, idir shean agus nua. Bhí sceitimíní orm a chloisteáil dóibh imirt "Kaleidoscopes" as a n-albam nua, toisc go raibh sé ar cheann de na hamhráin a bhí á chanadh Vibes leo ar an raidió. Mar geek cór fíor, ní raibh mé ag canadh resist mo chuid chomh maith le ceol buíochas le Dia os ard. Mé i gcónaí ag faire taitneamh a bhaint as gach ceann de na guys ar a n-ionstraimí faoi seach, agus an seó raibh aon éagsúla. Mar amhránaí, is breá liom go háirithe chun éisteacht a stiúradh amhránaí Chuck Stieg, toisc go fuaimeanna sé chomh maith sin beo! Is é ceann de na rudaí is fearr faoi breathnú ar na guys súgradh le chéile (leataobh, ar ndóigh, as a gcuid ceoil iontach) a n-suim leo onstage. Offstage, tá gach ceithre cinn de na ceoltóirí hilarious, agus tá a n-greann léir onstage maith. Imríonn an Defog dornán de Léiríonn gach bliain, agus sílim go cinnte an turais a bhfuil Philadelphia fiú é. Spreagfainn tú cinnte chun iad a fháil ar Facebook, cosúil leo, agus amháin ar a laghad dá gcuid seónna i láthair. Ní bheidh tú díomá!
