Wicked Season
Story and pictures by Joseph Martinez
Who wants a double scoop of HARD ROCK! That’s what you get when you go see Wicked Season. They played this pass weekend at the Tonic bar . From Billy Idol to heavy sounds from Metallica; they will slip an older “Foghat” tune at times. Powerful and LOUD is the norm for this band. You are guaranteed to have a great time if you are a hard core rocker.
I catch many different groups and enjoy many styles of music. This one is on my list. Something I notice was the GREAT lights and the Wonderful audio quality. Crisp and clear all night long. Bare footed was lead singer “Matthew Gates” singing familiars tunes we all love to snap our heads to. This was their debut show for 2013 season.
When I spoke to Matt about the band he said first off there are six members to the band. I Look and saw only 4 persons, including himself as the singer. He insisted strongly that the Audio man and the Light guy are an important part of the group. I must agree with that point. There are too many bands out there with muddy sounding audio and weak lighting or none at all. The lighting was controlled by a lap top computer and programed in sync with each song. This adds dimension to the event to make it more complete show.
It was evidenced that the band members knew their craft well.
- Lead vocals Matthew Gates
- Guitar James Garza (back up vocals)
- Bass Alexander Jimenez
- Drums Sam Tobar
- Audio Joey Tabres (back up vocals)
- Lights Jeanko Lara
- Stage hand,sercurity,marketing Rob Martin
Not new to music, some of the band members’ have been at the same venues with likes such as Seether, Blackstone Cherry, Saving Abel, and Hinder.
With Energy packed original songs and covered songs. This will surely guide then on the road of success for… WICKED SEASON!
