A late friday night start had us at the Derby for Satisfaction and Fielding, the latter of whom got a nice mention in the LA Times Calendar last week. I, too, caught on late to this band only recently seeing them at The Joint and Molly Malone's. When I first saw them I originally thought they kind of sounded like Counting Crows or DMB if either of those bands sounded good. That's obviously not a good comparison at all. With Eric Balmer's raspy croon enveloped in such a full, Britpop-powered sound, they're much more akin to Doves, Coldplay, and The Verve. Comparisons schmarisons, they're excellent... I'm a Satisfaction rookie although it's hard to ignore the fact that they play like every other week around town. When you do that, you're either called "the hardest working band in LA" by the LA Weekly or "spreading yourself too thin" by audiophilic bloggers. Well, they kind of remind of Phantom Planet back when they were more into rock n roll rather than getting caught up in the other stuff that goes along with rock n roll. If you know what I mean.
