I finally had a chance to see noon:30 play last night. I know two members of the band and have been trying to make it out to one of their infrequent shows for almost as long as I’ve lived in DC. They play with a ton of intensity and clearly have a lot of fun doing it. noon:30′s sound is punk/experimental with great, sometimes en Français vocals. The show started with some noisy drone guitar work and some improvised percussion involving a wooden plank. A fantastic version of Jim Carroll’s “People Who Died” finished off their first set with a couple of friends joining the trio on stage and made a great fit alongside the rest of their music. I’m not going to do their sound justice describing it here, so maybe you should check out the clips on their MySpace page, friend noon:30 on Facebook, or follow them on Twitter.
