Common Rotation, A Shared Experience - Knitting Factory, April 10, 2007
Patti Hutchens on 4/12/2007
Lucky us, Common Rotation played L.A. again, this time it was at the Knitting Factory, Hollywood. I was particularly pleased to bring along my teenage daughter as the show was for all ages. Our taste in music differs. She blasts Rap, Latin Hip Hop and Old Skool all the time at home. Tonight she cleaned up her "home girl" eyebrows and accompanied me.
Common Rotation's style is unique; they need to be experienced in person. My daughter actually smiled during the show and later complimented their talent and that is a start in my book. I think children and teens need to be exposed to a variety of music genres. Enjoying live music should be a family experience.
Common Rotation covered songs from their latest CD, "Is A Lie," including "Union Dues" and "How To Lose." We were treated to new songs along with old from their other CD's "Clear Channel" and "Big Fear." I received a smirk from my daughter when they did "With My Trumpet in My Hand" after a lengthy introduction.
SCB, Steve Carson Band, was the first band to take the stage. They were followed by Mylin, who seemed to be a favorite among the preteen and teen girls present. Mylin is Philippine born and Oklahoma raised; which is the inspiration for her song "American Girl" with which she finished her set. Dusty Rhodes and the River Band finished off the evening.
