Dungen My Husband
The fellas in Dungen rocked atlanta last night.
For real, they did. I mean that shit. Before I talk about the music, I have a few pussy gripes about the Drunken Unicorn. I dont think I have ever really liked thsi place, because the layout of the room sucks and isn't cohesive for good sound. Shit was fucking packed last night and I guess they just totally ignore the smoking ban, cuz I smelled like an ashtray's asshole when I left. Whatever, im a puss.
The cool thing about last night is it seemed like there were more hippies there than hipsters. Lots of thick ass beards and fat corduroy pants. I thought that meant that there were some fans of the field rock and werent there because Dungen is the hot shit. I missed the first song because this place only has one fucking toilet and the line for that one toilet is like 50 miles long. Im fucking pissed though b/c the first song they played was the first song off the record. I missed that minute long drum fill - FUCK! Anyways, these guys got it. Every sound from the record was there - and there were only 4 dudes on stage. The main singer, who wrote the entire album by himself didnt play much guitar - he was mainly singing, playing the rhodes and fucking flute! Every note perfectly! Pretty amazing. They ran through a handful of the hits from
Ta Det Lugnt and one really long song from that rereleased first album. The only downfall was that they only played about 50 minutes to an hour. No encore. The last jam they jammed was a long mind bender. Just slow burn riff haze, the song lasted about 10-15 minutes if I recall correctly, which is why we were confused when the guy said "this is supposed to be our last song". People were going crazy and chanting for an encore, so they came back out hugged and then took a bow, then said "we dont know what to do" - then walked off stage. Pretty rad. Great show, really wish they had ripped us a little more, all of us were right there with them - in a cooled out good vibes mid-grade hammjamm. I looked around and a lot of dudes had their eyes closed just in the zone.
