Unbridled Nastiness

Gordon Elgart (a.k.a. G-UNIT!) and I went to see Chow Nasty’s set at Bimbo’s last night. Sufficed to say they put on one hell of a show! One part Elvis, one part James Brown, and one part Odelay-era Beck Mash-up, the band had the audience on full tilt from the gate with their manic energy and surefire intensity. Clearly and up and coming San Francisco band (I’m told they are originally from Chicago), their set hit the “11” mark when they played their tribal-chant single “Ungawa.”
