Mates of State w/ Alex Bleeker and the Freaks 11/11/15 Bar

Opening act Alex Bleeker and the Freaks had a serious case of the west coast 70s vibe. Two guitars, bass, drums and organ put out a full sound. Sounding a bit like Blitzen Trapper crossed with America,   AB and the F had some chops even stretching out a long blues tune. Good harmony vocals could have pulled off a cover of Horse With No Name.
Local duo Mates of State was sharpening their songs for a date later this month at Cafe 9. Pure pop and solid guy girl harmony vocals are their weapon of choice. Guy on drums and girl on keys with some help from Pencilgrass trumpet player made for an enjoyable set. Bar was packed with this popular local band's followers.
