Search - Club Awesome :: Dynamos

Club Awesome is a four piece from Atlanta who have been playing around the local clubs for several years now. Having a reputation for being energetic and lively in performance, over the years, the act has also brought an element of silliness to their shows with the inclusion of an above ground swimming pool and of course, the "White Tiger" (really, it's more of a mint green) costume occasionally sported by lead vocalist Errol Crane. But these visuals would not necessarily be as entertaining if Club Awesome couldn't back them up with good music. Luckily for them, they do, and combined with afore-mentioned mayhem, have made Club Awesome's live shows some of the best in the city, filled with people dancing and singing along. Yet, prior to the release of Dynamos, one was left to wonder whether this very accomplished live act could sustain their energy and musicality in the relatively dry environment of the recorded medium. The first track on the album, 2875, puts any concern to rest with its exuberant hi-hat cymbal-driven beat and bouncy keyboard melody....From beginning to end, Dynamos works so well because it presents a sound that has some modifications (most notably on the final track) but essentially remains coherent as a whole. Likewise, the album also captures the energetic Indie pop-dance feel that Club Awesome has perfected in its live shows. Taken as a whole, and without a bad track in the bunch, this combination makes Dynamos one of the best releases of 2008. Evil Sponge
