UNTRUST US and THE BOILING SUNS 7/22: El Rio Bar, Mission District of San Francisco, CA
Tuesday is free live music night at El Rios, which is a good way to promote local music while also providing a watering hole for the raging alkies. One thing the venue could benefit from is a small stage, which would provide a better view for the audience. There was a backyard patio, which was homely.
Two bands performed at El Rio. Untrust Us opened with their premiere live show. They sounded like a tougher version of the Get Up Kids. I met the guitarist Justin, a rustic fellow from the north of Sweden. It’s amazing how his regularly thick accent is inaudible when he sings. Untrust Us was followed by The Boiling Suns, which brought a unique blues twist to the night. Their music sounds similar to Jethro Tull, which is a good thing.
