L.A TIMES. Buzzbands- Kevin Bronson


Oddly enough, there was more sidewalk fun taking place simultaneously, just down the street at Local 1710. Secure in his scheduled place in the festival and tethered to his band by a very long microphone extension chord, Mr. Free -- of Mr. Free and the Satellite Freakout -- wandered outside in his caveman-style bathing costume and treated all assembled to an entertaining show that recalled Jim Morrison (and perhaps a touch of G.G. Allin) at his best. Standing tall atop an unfortunate Saturn station wagon, Steel Reserve 10-percent-alcohol beer in hand, Mr. Free really went for it, offering up some tasty belt-it-out vocals over The Satellite Freakout's metal-tinged-but-melodic psych-rock, which was surprisingly tight considering band and singer were about forty feet apart.

Truly, Mr. Free and the Satellite Freakout is a group to look out for. Even if you can't stand the music, you have to appreciate their style. This is a band that drove from its native Tucson, you see, in a biodiesel-fueled, 48-seat school bus, all decked out in Halloween-style black and orange. Partridge Family ain't got nothing on Mr. Free.
