November 9, 2025Listened to Smokin' Okatillos at Coomber Oceanside, a great little spot downtown, for wine and music. Excellent wine, great covers, energy; awesome drummer and lead guitar, just wanted to hear more of the voices over the 4 guitars. Mix drowned out most vocals, which were key to identifying some of the songs. Enjoyed the experience, but they need an audio engineer!
