Suddenly, you’re immersed in heavy vibrations from strange metal, wood, plastic, and even synthetic material attached through long wires to human beings, all of whom are moving frantically in an exodus of some strange form of self expression interconnected with a perpetuation of sonic alien force.
OK: Let’s check into reality.
Last time you checked, you were in a bar. Its fall in the Shenandoah valley and the leaves have been dying off like a herd of buffalo. You’re here in this rather quiet low key place, you’ve come for some beer on a Thursday night and you had some songs lined up in your head to play on the jukebox. The songs that were always there… You know, so you can rock out a little bit while remaining on your bar stool, drinking subtly, maybe some head bobbing to familiar tunes between conversations with your fellow, equally mellow bar patrons. So when you got here, you saw there was a band playing tonight. Ok, a band. Probably a cover band right? A bar band? You’ve always got that small handful of people, usually of the female variety, drunk and giddy, dancing, but no mass collection of people having a genuine moment with the music they’re listening too, true absorption so to speak. Now, an hour later, you’re standing up, you’re tweaked out on this band and the wall of sound bombarding you won’t let you stay on your stool. You’re buying a round of shots for everybody and you feel like someone pulled a plug out of you like a vacuum cleaner and plugged you up to an electric socket of some kind. Full blown jam out…WHO THE HELL IS THIS BAND ? and then arms, torsos, and legs lift, shake and bump, you freeze in moments of climatic paralysis induced by heightening guitar and intensifying rhythm, and the explosions will let you go eventually to collect yourself again, right up until the next wave.
Its After Destiny. After Destiny? Is this just a pit stop along some crazy tour they must be on?
The answer is, they’re just playing this local bar for kicks. They play because they love to play. And this music has yet to rock enough souls. Its SUCH a FINE LIVE SHOW, however, that it would be a shame for it to stayed harnessed in such a localized format. This is how this works.
There exists, in the pockets of America where no cultural hysteria brings in any documentation that would further perpetuate the cultural hysteria, musical forces with a knack for doing the creative thing quite well. They’re doing it with passion, depth and awareness, in touch with some higher vibration. Local cult followings are formed, and if this word of mouth gets out and has the right timing and opportunity, this following will grow. The live musical experience is shared, shared amongst fans and the band, and a life form of its own is created, a force of beauty, of good times, a lucrative escape into higher dimensions that let us forget ourselves and become one again.
In this case, it’s this jam out collective from northern Virginia, After Destiny. This band is playing music with PASSION. These guys have the love for it and its explosive. Watching A.D. live is an unpredictable, always unique musical experience that can will take your brain for a ride and drop you off shaken and all tingly inside.
This is jam music. After Destiny is a live band, and they can only truly be experienced as such. No recording in a studio can do justice to the versatile nature of their music.
This is stuff that hits you on a deeper level. It’s instantly so familiar, that feeling to dance and groove, JAM OUT! Feelings that just formulate and boil up and become something so big its beyond the framework of your own rationality, and you’re just bobbing, strutting, waving, shaking, jumping, grooving, (or just taking in with enthusiasm) the soul and the rhythm and gut punch of some complexity that leads you to realize the primal connection we have to vibration… energy… Something that, perhaps, is actually a catalyst to the universal nature of ourselves, our collective connection. Our collective tapestry that we all can touch base with and yet lose touch with just as easily and quickly. Those that can master and harness that energy need to be heard.
There is good music, and those that have seen and heard them can tell you, that AFTER DESTINY is a band that can give you a nice heap of god damned GOOD jam music. These guys need to tour and get their sound out. Hungry ears are waiting.
