First of all, Cat Dirt loves the Che Cafe. What an outstanding venue! Nestled in the forgiving bosom of the UCSD campus, with it's darling sliding glass doors, numerous eucalyptus trees and lovely courtyard.
Is there a better all ages venue in all of san diego county? Cat Dirt thinks not! Cat Dirt is adding the Che to it's priority venue list along with the SDSC.
Cat Dirt waits for the day when Fifty on Their Heels can play a show there, until then, I will have to admire from afar. Or up close, I suppose.
Last night it was Atoms, The Prayers The Fascination.
Although the Prayers were the putative headliners, Cat Dirt thought it was clear that it was Atoms-fever. Is there a better all ages band in San Diego? Cat Dirt doesn't think so.
Cat Dirt thinks Atoms ought be headlining SOMA, let alone headlining Epicentre, but that's just one Cat's opinion.
Here is the sole photo I took of the Fascination:
I should say that there was a fourth band on the bill- if someone writes me I will add the name. Anywho, the Fascinatioin are a power three piece.
Their first song really caught my ear- kind of a Wolfmotherish vibe to it. The other songs- not so much. Kind of a power-pop/pop-punk vibe that was not Cat Dirt's cup of tea.
Also, the lead singer has some kind of english/australian/new zealand/south african accent, that Cat Dirt was unable to place. I will seek clarification on that.
Next up it was the headliner-in-practice, Atoms.
Cat Dirt is developing a real fondness for Atoms- I just like their whole dynamic. It's kooky and fun- and revolutinary, something that I caught in the lyrics for the first time last night.

nbsp One thing I wanted to point out about the Atoms is how darling and kick ass their drummer is.
They hide her behind the boys, but I think she is really cool! Here is a pic I managed to snap by sliding around to the side of the stage during the set. Her name is Christy.

Joey- the lead singer/occasional guitarist/keyboardist, was on fire last night. Cat Dirt loves his incitement of the crowd. Go Joey!
nbsp The Prayers closed the show. Cat Dirt is going to reserve his review for a later, date- no doubt he will have ample opportunity to see, and review the Prayers in the future. Cat Dirt will say this- doesn't that singer/guitarist on the right kind of remind you of Pete Doherty(Babyshambles)?
