Spesus Christ Live
February 2, 2010 — PDXPIPELINEPosted by Rondell McCalip
Electronic beats, Melodic undertones and lots of fun for all. Vote yes on “Spesus Christ.” Whenever I listen to this band i get an immediate feeling of the camaraderie circulating through the group. Both on and off the stage. This always makes for a better feeling show and when people feel good they look good and more importantly in this arena they sound good. From the crooning on “Truce” to the seemingly impromtu trip-hop spoken word interlude that laces “Airport Gate.” It is inevitable that at some point during their set your eyes will be wide shut and and your foot jamming along to the bass line.
All this happens before you start dancing your face off. This band does a brilliant job of balancing ambient background music you can just kick it to with a style that may perhaps incite one of those head back introverted dance frenzy's that only you and whatever god you pray to can understand.
They will be blazing “The Parlour” located at 26th and Powell on Feb. 27th @ 9pm.

One of the owners of The Parlour here:
Just wanted to second the face-melting awesome that is Spesus Christ. They came in to play during a great electronic, distortion-rock set…and I was completely blown away.
From the minute they started playing until the end, I was enraptured. Every sound layer, bent note, and screamed/whispered syllable fell perfectly into place. They even released their album ON TAPE…THAT THEY DUBBED ON THE FLY! It doesn’t get any better than this.
I know you can get their new EP (3 tracks) for pay-what-you-want at http://spesuschrist.bandcamp.com
Highly recommend…no – scratch that. I DEMAND that you check it out. Also, go see these guys before they blow up so big you never get to see them on Earth any more.
