The SSION

After what seems like a very long hiatus from concert-going I went to see the SSION last saturday at Box Awesome here in Lincoln. It was great - I'm really glad we went. After having a long history of being in bands / going to shows local or otherwise, I guess I took some time off. Post 2byTrent and the Touch&Go 25th Anniversary show - I had no desire to do / attend / or even purchase anything musical.

It's been at least a few years since last seeing these guys perform. I first encoutered the SSION when visiting my sister down at KCAI, and they were mostly a college performance art project. They did recorded music / video with live vocals / performance. Recently they added / lost some people and added instruments to the live performance. I'd say that now the performance and music sides have become more balanced. The experience is more on par with seeing a band than performance art. A very very fun and energetic band. Totally worth the ringing in my ears - I am starting to feel more musical.
