BML

Bio:

BML is back... mostly... sorta...

Hook Up And Cook Up A Couple


BML's proficiency is staggering, and the group's casual demeanor a little unsettling. The power that comes out of these three musicians is comparable only to their proficiency. Their individual speed and dexterity will melt your face. And despite all that might, every part is discernable. Things this heavy usually don't move this fast. BML played last Tuesday's Toys For Tots show at MontageMusic Hall with galloping, runaway thunder and G-force-inducing hairpin turns. I think Toby Bailey has extra fingers. Ronnie Lickers decapitated a cymbal stand during his set-long rhythm tirade and guitarist Brian Mason's guitar kissed the sky as notes cascaded in a screaming flurry and fury. A simply amazing band

I packed up my gear that night and finally caught BML (Bailey, Mason, Lickers) close out the Low Ton CD release show at the Bug Jar. This band is amazingly progressive and tight. The guitar work was blistering and incessant but still left room for the other two. The bass player is a monster. BML is one tweaked motor, man.

BML, also known as Bailey, Mason & Lickers, create an awesome wall of tightly-played sound, that comes at you full-force with a steam-rolling energy. Funky metal and jazzy rock, these guys are a skilled instrumental unit that must be experienced!

The guys in BML aren't trying to be obtuse. They're as perplexed as you are when it comes to trying to pigeonhole their sound --- music that's powerful and angular with shifty progressions that beg for Ritalin. Music that's progressive, that's heavy, funky, and complex. Call it thinking man's metal.

I remember a couple summers ago I got bored one night and took off to Rochester to see them play, since I'd been digging their CD a bit. After seeing the bassist switch between fingerstyle, picking, slapping, and tapping all in the first song and Atrox's nonchalant/non-wanky sweeping (and none of that sounded gratuitous whatsoever, which was even more awesome), they could've spent the rest of the set shoving microphones in their ass and farting them back out and I still would've considered it an evening well-spent.
