Oklahoma's BRONCHO played two shows in SF opening for Guided By Voices on Monday August 22nd and Tuesday August 23rd at The Independent!

There was a mysterious air about the deeply experimental punk four-piece as they solemnly played their grainy, guitar heavy, bass buzzing tracks. Their rather flat stage presence complimented the slow, some what spacey sound heard on their new album, Double Vanity.
Out on June 10th, the third album from the band stretches further away from their nostalgic eighties movie soundtrack beginning, to a refined limbo between an angsty past and the un-known future. It's a little more pschydelic than fans of their distorted punk might remember. Singer Ryan Lindsey's characteristic awkwardness was the extent of the action show goers got as he un-audibly sang to a nearly full house. Even the minimal banter he made was hard to understand. But, you have to remember this is what makes BRONCHO interesting.
They played for a better part of half an hour with minimal banter and even less movement on stage, yet the crowd of seasoned Guided By Voices fans weren't bored by it. In fact, BRONCHO's opening set served as a exhilarator for the headliners, as good openers are suppose to do!

I wasn't there the following night, but I do have some photos from show 2 to share with you thanks to a photographer friend!
