I was invited to attend Dulce de Leche's musical presentation at the Cobalt last Sunday. It was an early show and I got their just in time to hear the opening song, which is named 'Two Tone Jack'. For you's that don't know Dulce de Leche, they are a lovely duo compromised of mainly Guitar and Percussion/Drums. They evoke colorful melodies and foot tapping rhythms that conjure a cohesive acoustic sound. A different direction from the last venture the Lead Guitarist was involved in, growing up with punk rock he provided Lead Guitar for San Fernando Valley Punk Band, Blasphemy Squad. Furthermore, Percussionist/ Drummer met Jose (Lead Guitar) of Dulce de Leche back in the Punk Days and for fun started Dulce de Leche. The show was something different from what I expected the two sat on stage after 'Two Tone Jack' composing acoustic ballads and soft sound effects provided by the percussionist, the songs were switched up lyrically with english and spanish compositions and fast and slow paced lyrics. The set ended with fellow Blasphemy Squad musicians sharing the stage with an improv track led by offbeat rhythms and jazz filled sax solos I felt like I was back in Venice's Infamous Drum Circle. For the man that missed the show check them out at Make Music Pasadena 2008 in June.
