CODE PIE @ CAFÉ CHAOS, MAY 19, 2004


review by Psyko

So Café Chaos looked like my bathroom except that I wouldn't have that many people in such a small space! Very cozy night in deed and I didn't mind numbing my ass by sitting on the floor. So I sat there with my buddy watching Code Pie, a band with a composition that was new to me considering the scene. The girls were on cello and trumpet, and the boys composed the rest of what would have been a typical rock band. The sound of the horns and the strings along with the alternative rock got more than just my ears going. My senses were all satisfied. I liked that my eyes were fixed on 6 cuties on stage, I could taste tobacco, I could smell it too, and I can feel the bits of shit stuck on the ground below my supporting hands. Code Pie? What's Code Pie? I found out, but I won't give it away that easy (forward your bidding cheques or money orders directly to my residence please). These guys like Pearl Jam, the Smiths and many other rock bands and carry the rock 'tudes in a slightl y musically twisted way. I really enjoyed the idea and style. I wondered how such a new and big band holds it all together. Apparently they all collaborate, some more than others, but what's most important to them is that they each not only like the songs, but LOVE the songs they play. They play each one like it's their last so they're quite easy going when it comes to future plans. Hell, I was always curious
about the next song.
