Potimus, Kudzu Co

Saw the new p-cola band last night: potimus. Piano, guitar, drums. Jean Carlos plays piano for the band, and writes really good songs. although the band made my ears bleed, which in some cases would be considered really awesome, and a badge honor pinned just below the feather in the proverbial cap; i just filled my hearing holes with tissue and i was fine. i'd like to point out that the rest of the band: ty on guitar and alex on drums, both wrote exceptional parts. Ty's guitar parts, reminded me of the Beatles circa rock psyche phase, mixed with a helping of tom waits raunch. The drummer appeared to need a song or two to warm up, but once he did, he brought the rock... irregardless. Potimus definitely a band worth checking out if you are in the souf in p-cola. at the moment i don't believe Potimus has any recordings available on line, but here is Jean Carlos's myspace:

Apparently both bands misspelled their band names, i am sure it is a p-cola idosync.

Potimus= potamus?
kudzu= kudzoo?--- kudzu is correct i am sure
lilies= lillies

Kudzu co. played first, stu began their set with creepy ambient guitar pieces he wrote. then his partner climbed on stage and they began to sing songs, they are a wonderfully weird band, i mean weird in the sense that weird is meant to convey. nothing threatening about them, just plain weird. i love them, i am sure freak folk somehow started with Kudzu Co.
