Bubble Rock...

Recently one of our writers caught up with a few bands including Bubble at Dragonfly here in Hollywood, CA. Apparently she had a good time. Here's her take on Bubble.

Introduced by their pal Donnie Popejoy with the volume of a wrestling match, Buuuuuuuubbbbbbbbblllllllllleeee was the middle band at Dragonfly on the first full day of the Governator's Term or do you say Terminator's Govern?

The pre-show interview with leader, Share Pedersen consisted of "I gotta go find my bass player!" So we caught a little bit of the opening band - Millionaires of San Diego. A heckler got the response of "You're right! I've no talent at all!" from their lead singer dressed in a pork pie hat, tattoos and little else.
Okaaayy.

Share, Bam, Luke and Brian are Bubble. Guitar, drums, bass and another guitar are Bubble's machines. One of LA's best bands promised a lot of new stuff from new CD, Chapter 7, at this performance. That they did.

Shorter shag haircut on Share with a darker shade of platinum and sporting fake fur for a fake autumn evening, Vixen veteran, Ms. Pedersen and pals kicked it off with 'Break Me' and our favorite 'Don't Talk To Me'. Then came the newer tunes, 'I Hurt Myself', 'Deadender', 'Kiss or Kill' and 'Love Stains' pepper-ed with the familiar 'Black Hole', 'I'm Alright Jack', and tied it up with 'Big Top'.

The new songs are consistent with the standing fare from Bubble. Strong clear hard guitars and drums. Sharp hooks and spit out lyrics with edge and anger. Basics and fundamentals. Integrity and credentials. Dedication and delivery. (The new governor should be this good.) Textures and waa waa pedals. A nice crowd of friends, fans and peers packed in to the Dragonfly for an all too short set, barely a half hour.

At the door, Tommy of Motochrist insisted we stay for just one number by Joker Five Speed. We "been-there-and done-that" and drove home. A short set of Bubble was enough for anyone. For more Bubble info: www.planetbubble.com
