Local Band Takes Route Thru Kitchen to Success
An ad for M-Theory Music, (one of San Diego's best independent record stores), advertises an in-store show on Saturday, 2/11 by local band Sirhan Sirhan as a performance by "San Diego's Newest Buzz!" Never one to miss out on the next big thing, I investigated the band...
You immediately realize that Sirhan Sirhan quickly have two things going for them. First of all, a great band name. One that is catchy, but offensive, but then again, probably not to a majority of the audience. Ol' Sirhan isn't exactly one of histories most famous assassins. Secondly, the EP they have released is called "A Swift Kick to the Sack" which demonstrates, once again, the universal appeal of crotch related pain.
As far as the music goes, it probably isn't up my alley. Angry, Metalcore Punk is how they describe it themselves. Seeing them in a live setting, though, could maybe even take the most hardened Kennedy family member and have them doling out swift kicks to the sack themselves by the end of the set. In addition to the M-Theory show, the band plays a FREE show at Scolari's Office on 2/17 and another FREE show at the Casbah on 2/21.
Visit the band's MySpace site at http://www.myspace.com/sirhansirhan to hear two songs and to preorder their new album, out 3/14/06.
