Concert by the Los Angeles trio Light Dazed, described as new wave grunge punk, with support from Crashing Wayward and Changing Channels.
Light Dazed are playing McGuffie's Live on Monday, October 12, at 8 PM. They're a trio from Los Angeles, and they're not coming alone: Crashing Wayward and Changing Channels are on the bill with them, so it's a full night of three bands rather than just a single set.
If you haven't heard of them, Light Dazed describes their sound as "new wave grunge punk," a label that puts a few different eras in the same room. The new wave side brings the melodic, synth-inflected hooks of the late seventies and early eighties, while the grunge and punk elements provide the grit and the volume. It's a combination that sits somewhere between a dance floor and a dive bar, and they're bringing it down from LA to San Diego for the night.
They also run with a motto that gives you a sense of the attitude they bring to the stage: "comes in peace and we want revenge." It's a bit of a contradiction—the peaceful arrival and the vengeful intent—and that tension is a good shorthand for the music they're playing. It's a trio, so there's not a lot of padding around the sound; it's just the three of them working it out live.
