The Osophists

From Sam....
Gawd!! I hope the walls don’t cave in on us THIS SUNDAY, Strangers!!
Sunday, May 13 will be the loudest Stay Strange yet!! Frank Melendez and Riververb! Also on the bill is the equally loud Actuary from Los Angeles. Plus a rare performance by artist Gerritt Wittmer.
SUNDAY, MAY 13-
RIVERVERB/ACTUARY/GERRITT WITTMER
THE KAVA GALLERY - 2804 KETTNER BLVD - 7PM - $5.00 - ALL AGES SHOW!
Riververb is always in a constant change, and I hear that the latest incarnation is the best so far! Judge for yourself! it’s some heavy stuff! Face morphing grinder sludge. Last time Riververb played, no slayed, the smoke turned black from monolithic chunks of acid-noise.
Actuary shake the shit loose! Los Angeles breeds some sick stuff and this by no means drops the ball. Not only are this tunes in your face, it’s in your skull too! Mean ass nitro venom. Gory!!
Gerritt Wittmer is an artist in the darkest sense possible. I’m not sure what he’ll be doing at this month’s Stay Strange, but if it’s anything like his performance at LUFF, it’s going to be scary!!!

The Osophists
December 2. 2005
The Osophist's five song, self-titled ep, leads emotions with honesty and confidence. Songs begin simply; engaging trust with a sincere voice; then hold on and convince with heart.

The instrumentation is tight; each driving the other throughout a dichotomy of sweetness, as in 'swimming', and Descendents-style punk/power, as in 'the hands of a shaker'. While guitars compliment the voice, the rhythm and dynamic progression dictate each song's passion. Melodic, memorable riffs wind thoughtfully as well forcibly with the lyrics, vocals and harmonies. The ep's last song, 'our regret', is not only the most impressionable, but a realistic combination of the first four and a perfect conclusion.
