Akimbo, Cicadas, and Triclops! @ the Wild Buffalo, Bellingham

posted by on April 30 at 13:26 PM

Triclops!

Cicadas

Akimbo

This was Cicadas’ last show in their hometown of Bellingham. They will play one final Seattle show at the Blue Moon on May 15th. They are (were) one of the most amazing technical rock bands in the Northwest. They will be sorely missed by those who were aware of their existence.

Akimbo and Triclops! play tonight at the Jules Maes with the Oswald Effect. Triclops! is an awesome spectacle live. Singer Johnny (of Fleshies fame) is an unrelenting spaz of a frontman, armed with an effects board and bass duct taped to a chair and a penchant for running through and on top of the audience. They play a unique mixture of Dead Kennedys style punk mixed with modern, heavy prog. They kick a significant amount of ass.

forgive me if i'm a little out of the bellingham loop, but is the Wild Buffalo the old 3B? looks eerily similar.

No, the 3B isn't a venue anymore (sigh).

God that show was amazing. I kinda had a bangover.

The Wild Buffalo is usually a venue catering to the reggae/blues/hippie jam/jazz circuit but they did this show since it was during the week (and due to some smooth talking by Josh) and it was packed...made me happy. There isn't anywhere up here anymore even close to what the 3B was.

The Buff felt eerily similar to the 3B that night, didn't it?
