ASG- Live At The Satellite, Los Angeles CA
The Scion AV free shows at the Satellite have been a treat for rock fans who are seeking out new music. This month’s edition with North Carolina’s ASG became a treat for stoner rock fans who were seeking out another opportunity to see these guys rock.
Fresh off of their tour with Weedeater, ASG’s somewhat intimate yet wild beer flinging crowd kept the show interesting. Their music is straight forward, riff oriented stoner rock and chock full of it. Promoting their latest release Blood Drive, the crowd was largely up front, despite the crowd wasn’t exactly packed but still enough people in attendance to make the show anything but dull.
Band vocalist Jason Shi’s delivery came across strong and kept the momentum going very strong. ASG’s riff rock driven sound worked well with the indie oriented crowd surrounding the Satellite, while slinging beer and a mini mosh pit erupted during the band’s set. Fans rocked out along with Shi and fellow guitarist Jonah Citty’s tasty guitar riffs, keeping the momentum alive and rarely letting up.
While their fanbase may not be the largest, ASG put on a powerful show that gave stoner rock fans their fill. They are an act who is super underrated and have yet to reach their fullest of potentials or exposure. Hopefully a bigger tour is in the horizon for these guys and bigger opportunities do occur for them, as they do deserve it.
