Polluter is a regional jam trio who bill themselves as " demented blues rock". Solid drums and bass back up epic guitar noodling. Expansive jams would ebb and flow and eventually lead into a guitar psych-out. This band reminded me of the not-jazz, not-rock, not-jam but all three meanderings of another regional outfit The Slip. Maybe it was the trucker hatted hipness of the guitarist.
Nobide was an electronica trio from Denver. Three young kids in a van plying their trade on the East coast. Keys/laptops, sax, and metronomic drums was the layout. Keyboard player had many effects, bass qualities and looping abilities. The sax also had more pedals than he knew what to do with, often times you could tell it was a sax. The drummer kept perfect time and was essential to this dancey mix. This group was the same type of lineup as The Big Gigantic, and had similar control of the volume knob to keep the audience engaged.
