Go Fever, a Portland, Or. trio, have built a sonic cathedral propped up by welcome walls of sound. Their formidable brand of rock and roll is atmospheric and grand, delivering jangly retro guitars, sexy bass lines and primal beats, which inspires and captivates the listener. Go Fever’s music is culled passionately from a broad array of influences, both old and new, esoteric and familiar.Go Fever has played/ honed its craft at fine Portland venues such as Dante’s Inferno, Doug Fir Lounge, the Towne Lounge and in Seattle at the Crocodile, the Sunset Tavern and the Comet Tavern. Guitarist/singer Tony Hilsmeier provides powerful vocals that speak honestly of the humancondition. The band is currently writing their first full-length record and is preparing for a west coast tour this summer...
...Fez Ballroom | 316 SW 11th Ave., 221-7262 ext. 41 [map] [PSYCH ROCK] If you like Brian Jonestown Massacre, but fear that, if you attend a show, Anton's gonna kick you in the head, Go Fever offers a reasonable solution. The band's '60s psychadelia revivalist sound blends all that you love about the Warhols, Warlocks and the Massacre. Don't be fooled by song titles like "Silverstoned, " and "Past Caring": Behind the apathetic front, this band is really a bunch of cuddly bunnies who just want to be loved...and by loved I mean smoked out by a fan.
