As I said before, my posts are like a variety pack of different subjects (more associated within the arts/entertainment section) and this review is no different. This past weekend I saw the band Jimkata perform and on a scale ranging, from 0-hell yeah, I would give it a hell yeah. This was just one of their many stops to promote their new album Live in Motion. Their sound provides a unique rhythm filled with “washed-out” guitar riffs, mellow distortion, and a “synth-pop” revival in the background.

From the opening band, “Lazlo Hollyfield” who also put on an incredible performance as well to the very last song in Jimkata’s set, this was definitely a night to remember. I don’t think there was single person in the crowd around me, that wasn’t in awe of the music performed on stage. From one of their older tracks Night Shade to some of their brand new tracks, Ride the Wave, Innocence, and Build Me Up; Jimkata put on one awesome show and again as much as I hate speaking for people, I don’t think there was single person at the show who would tell you different.

So whether it is their connection with the crowd or their one-of-a-kind style as a band of Ithaca, NY-based musicians, Jimkata would get at least a 9.5 from my scale if not, higher. Truly worth a listen or a concert outing, if you want to hear something different from the night club-droned noise that is blasted through our mental sound speakers every day.
