KSCU's NEW Music Department Blog!
The Actionslacks, masters of indie rock-pop, celebrated their 15th year anniversary at Bottom of the Hill, their self-professed spiritual home.
The show, long-planned and delayed by several months, was more than worth the wait. Drums, bass, and guitars worked in seamless concert to fill the air with explosive, powerful emotions while singer Tim Scanlin poured out classy vocals and thoughtful lyrics. The 'Slacks played over 15 songs coming from nearly all of their releases, from the opening track of their first album "Too Bright Just Right Good Night," recorded in 1995, to never-before-heard material from the EP they had recorded only days earlier. It was an epic show, with enough soul to fill a stadium and lots of love from long-time fans, some of whom flew to SF to see the band. The Actionslacks, who rarely have the chance to play live shows or even rehearse together, still know how to rock with more intensity and wisdom than any other band out there.
