Space Kadet 9/19/19 Cafe 9

Unfortunately missed local groove opener Strawberry Cheesesteak. Space Kadet is a noodley trio from GA. Drums, bass/laptop, and guitar was the lineup. The drummer thrashed and made a lot of noise with seemingly minimal effort. Bass had a five string setup that affords an extra level of flexibility. Bass player also used a computer to shade and add loop effects. Guitar player brought the noodle with speedy fills and runs. Space Kadet was yet another group sans vocals. It is difficult to hold a Monday night audience's interest without some vocal and songwriting. The tunes were mashups of familiar jams. I heard some Pink Floyd, 2001 Space Odyssey, and metal riffs pieced together with effects and jams. Space Kadet seems like a band better viewed late night at Camp Bisco with some chemical aid to the fray.
