MP3 of the Day: "Everyday Life" by Alukard, playing with the Ataris this Saturday at Sandbar, Kendall

The guys of the long-grinding Miami quintet Alukard hail from all over the city, but have made it their new mission to bring live rock back to the suburban expanses of Kendall, a couple years after staple venue Kaffe Krystal's demise. "They were known for bringing a lot of emo, screamo, punk rock, and indie bands, and they would pack up the house every Saturday. This was something going on that wasn't covered by everybody, but all the young kids knew about it," says Level, Alukard's singer/guitarist. "All these kids were able to just walk or skate to this place, instead of driving their cars for a million miles." So a few months ago, the guys scoped out a venue similarly situated -- Sandbar, near Miami Dade College's Kendall Campus.

Since then on Wednesdays, Alukard's been hosting a well-attended "closed mike" event. But their biggest booking to date will be Saturday's show by the decade-plus-running Indiana pop-punk band the Ataris. That band was set to end its current national tour after its Orlando date on May 22, but Alukard bassist Pupo convinced his longtime friend Kristopher Roe, the Ataris' guitarist and frontman, to hop south. "It's more of a favor, for-fun type thing for them," says Level, "but it's a nice little venue and Kendall's got a good demographic for the crowd the

Meanwhile, the guys of Alukard are working on their own full-length album of what they've dubbed "305 rock." "It's a Miami-based sound starting out there, what I would say is the perfect mixture of hip-hop and rock," says Level. "When you listen to hip-hop on the stereo, you'll hear more bass. So when our album is released this summer, you'll notice a lot of low-end frequencies, which was missing in rock music. We also incorporate it in the live show by turning up the bass and drums a lot more."

For a taste of that, here's a live recording of the band's song "Everyday Life," which, Level says, despite its catchy chorus is really a criticism of politicians.

The Ataris to Play Sandbar in Kendall, May 23

By Dominic Sirianni in Concert Preview, Heads Up, Local Music

Ataris - January 2009

The Ataris are coming back to South Florida courtesy of Grizz and the kids in Alukard, who are bringing them to the Sandbar of all places, down in dirty Kendall on Memorial Day weekend. These guys, who are basically Kris Roe plus whoever he has with him, have and been doing it steady since the mid-1990s. They are actually pretty damn fun for an earnest indie rock band. Seeing them in an intimate little club like the Sandbar is going to be an awesome fun time. Also appearing are Alukard, Dyslexic Postcards, and the Swingers Chef Club.

"JUST MAYBE"

This track was actually first written in 2003 (http://www.myspace.com/alukard305).

It was an ode to one hit wonders through out the music decades. Many bands and acts fall apart or usually fall out of orbit due to internal problems, enormous amount of income (sometimes lack of), and other sorts of escapades.

Inspired by so many one hitters that may have cause a musical impact and shift, we wrote this song as the dedication to their effort and to remind ourselves of the hard work that also comes with being successful..

More money, more problems. A statement easily understood and agreed upon.

Although the context of the lyrics include a somewhat beatlesque somber tone, it is topped off by the line "and time would pass on by, and life would go as it pleased, and I would sing to myself, this song about my dreams.."

Though just a little smile of sunshine in an undoubtful dominant sad song, we must remember that the past (whether it may be happy or sad) is the memories we keep of our journey in life.. in this case, a song about our dreams..

It is better to have tried and fail then to have never tried at all.

We aim to have an album full of positive tones in a rather hectic era of our lives. Riddled with economic chaos and corporate dysfunction.. we find it harder to succumb into surreal fantasies of nice cars, ice, and platinum chains..

This ideal is coming to a screeching halt soon. And AlukarD intends to lead the way along with a great music revolution.

Self conscience and feel good music. Angry love and mad chaos. Lots and lots of BASS!

this is 305 ROCK music.

this is MIAMI.. the sound of our city.


we love you guys.

the age of TELEVISION is almost gone..

yes... the switch to "digital" cable is almost here...

but what does that REALLY MATTER?

WHO IS REALLY GONNE BOTHER WITH APPLYING for a SERVICE that only BRINGS YOU what they GIVE YOU!!!!!!!

the future should be YOUR CHOICE of ENTERTAINMENT...

and imagine guys?

a couple steps up the latter, and then you're logging into YOUKU.COM. MEGAVIDEO.COM, HULU.COM, YOUTUBE.COM, VEOH.COM, & MANY MORE just to get what you want... WHEN YOU WANT.. at whatever TIME you want..

that means... all artists producing CRAP will be obliterated.

and all television channels producing CRAP will be destroyed.

why?

because WE THE PEOPLE will get what we demand...

WHEN WE DEMAND IT.

and thats why our band will prevail.

be in demand... not what your fed.


did you like eating vegetables that your mom fed you as a child?

or did you like asking for candy??

;)
