Evolfo w/ Tines 7/28/22 Cafe 9

 Tines are a local group of indie rockers. Tonight was a record release party for them so girlfriends and relatives were in tow. Decent quartet with drums, bass, lead guitar, singer and rhythm guitar. At one point they gave off a Luna-vibe. Nerdy lead guitar reminded me of Rick Nielsen from Cheap Trick.

Evolfo was a six piece psych-rock outfit from Brooklyn. I was glad to arrive in time to watch them try to fit on the tiny C9 stage, It was like watching someone “ try to stuff a pair of Levis into a shot glass”. Big fella on sax, keys/ synths, drums, bass, lead guitar/trumpet, and lead man on vocals/guitar. I realized that Evolfo spelled backwards is Oflove, but the crew made no mention. Nice set of psychedelic jams dotted with good vocals from lead guy who was able to whirling dervish a bit even with the cramped quarters. “Fans also like” category on Spotify has Latin psych band Mystic Braves, which is a good comparison. Slow burn synth jam was a highlight.
