Ready for something completely nuevo? 'Cause I doubt you've heard anything like Minimal. The Spanish-singing Miami band fuses acoustic guitars, electronic sounds and massive drum escapades into charging, near-epic brews that call to mind bands like Gomez and Muse. Check out the videos for the intricate but hefty "El Cubo" and the riff-slugging "No Sonar." and see if you aren't impressed. Minimal's name, it seems, is quite misleading.
Because, evidently, the citizens of Kansas City have been good boys and girls of late, Minimal is coming to the Czar Bar this Saturday, August 29, on the heels of a split EP release with local homeboys Making Movies. Regular readers of The Pitch -- and attendees of our recent local music awards ceremony -- should already be familiar with this self-described "new wave salsa" outfit. Hewing closer to their Latin roots than Minimal, Making Movies spins out swirling, percussive, guitar-driven progressions that ride danceable salsa grooves until taking off into atmospheric rock crescendos. This band's name, actually, is quite fitting.
The two bands met through MySpace Latino's En Tu Ciudad Tour and are about to play a few Midwestern dates before hitting Florida together in November. With any luck it'll snowball, because these bands deserve to be heard.
