"First things first, I would like to say how excited I am at the prospect of our new blog. My order of business is to expose and inspire for those who matter. First up, El Dorado; Thursday March 31st. Your humble servant in the blogosphere, witnessed an extraordinary display of, what we here at SDNOISE are extremely passionate about, Indie, electronic crossover music. I have to explain something that not everyone may know.. to create an electronic song requires an extensive amount of production knowledge, time, and talent.. to create a live indie band takes a lot of chutzpah and control. To be able to make both, takes a heap of talent and a boatload of attitude. HYENA has all this, with enough left over to coat the walls in unfiltered awesomeness. Mike Cooper an experienced drummer with three full length albums under his belt with Transfer and Bryan Stratman from Capricorn Studios have combined their talents and emerged with Hyena. What can I say? They nailed it, their songs are to the point in deliverance. Coopers beats are so tight you can't even fit a razor through them. Stratmans station is a schmorgesborg of pedals, knobs, wires, and lights. I am a HUGE fan of hardware spaceship consoles so two thumbs up, A+. The kicker is that this whole set up isn't for show. Bryan Stratman knows what he is doing. . I can see the communication and the level of musicianship are very present throughout their set. Their songs are neatly ambiguous enough to hypnotize the most uninterested ears into a sexually driven dance explosion. I would recommend this show to everyone. Check out their website at www.wearehyena.com to listen for yourself to their high quality productions. If your in the music business check out http://www.capricornstudios.net/ and get Bryan in on your tracks. The guys at Capricorn turn music into gold". - Daniel Leigh Ross
