]]> Comment on The Dirty Heads @ House of Blues by Headshine @ House of Blues, Anaheim | OC Music Magazine http://ocmusicmagazine.com/the-dirty-heads-house-of-blues/comment-page-1/#comment-1470 Headshine @ House of Blues, Anaheim | OC Music Magazine Sun, 18 Dec 2011 07:33:39 +0000 http://ocmusicmagazine.com/?p=6157#comment-1470 [...] As the quilted curtains opened, the four members of Headshine were placed comfortably on the stage. You wouldn’t be surprised to hear these guys are jammin’ from Huntington Beach. Their cool wave rhythms and soft drumbeats accompany the acoustic guitar so nicely, you could imagine yourself just chillin’ on the beach listening to their music. Their harmonic vocals can ease your troubles as they sing their song, “Better Things;” with lyrics such as “better things are coming my way.” The lead singer, Ras, played acoustic guitar while seated beside him was multi-talented percussionist Jeff Maldonado, singing back-up vocals. The band also complements their sound with a third back-up singer that uses maracas and soft hand claps next to the DJ, (Yes, DJ) that scratched records or hit up beats on faster paced songs like “One Spark.” The combinations of their instruments are both raw and materialized for today’s audience.  All of their songs had relaxed and subtle lyrics such as “…It hits me like a cool breeze,” or “diamonds in the sun, you might be the one I’m looking for.” I thoroughly enjoyed the light swipe of the chimes after each song. As I listened to their performance, I found Headshine could be compared to the island acoustic rhythms of Jack Johnson while also implementing beats like The Dirty Heads.
