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...

[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. DEVAN COOK. Fez Ballroom.
8:30 pm. $6. 21+.
