I have had the pleasure of working sound for the band, Godisheus, for their last 2 shows. The first was Sat. 4/11 at an Ethiopian restaurant on U st. called Almaz where local bands perform on Saturday nights. The most recent show was last night 4/15 at Asylum on 18th St. in Adams Morgan. Both shows were fairly similar, with similar set lists and technical set up.
The band is a Funk/Metal/Hip Hop hybrid, and they wail. Drums, guitar, bass and vocals, and all the players are great and the band is tight. The stage-presence is very engaging; they keep it really funky and live through out the set.
Godisheus's sound is something like The Meters meets Bad Brains-meets-some crazy metal that I don't even know about meets any of those premier bands that back up hip hop artists on tour.
They play shows around town, and they are determined to bring the DC music scene back to life. So they say. They are good, and they're playing at DC9 on Monday for the 1-year anniversary party for Capitol Hemp. Hopefully I'll be mixing.
