[Static Dress] Starline Social Club 11/25

Is screamo making a comeback? I don’t know, but these guys are coming to Oakland. You decide.

 

   

 

   Static Dress is a screamo/pop-rock band from The UK and WOW do they bring me back to when vans were cool and The Vans Warped Tour was even cooler! These guys really do bring back the feeling of the 2000’s boom of metalcore and screamo sensation that was sweeping through the states. Man those were great times to be into that music. When Hot Topic was cool and Invader Zim was still airing new episodes on Nickelodeon. Funny thing is that this band was formed in 2018 and these guys were most likely born in the 2000s and pretty much missed out on all the hype (laugh out loud). 

 

   If you look at their Wiki page, at the main picture, you can see that they seriously make an effort to give off that early O’s emo/screamo/Sunny Moore vibe with all those big bulky TVs on stage. Remember Sunny Moore? Well if you know you know. Moving on; if you saw that opening music video on their homepage on the first link I typed earlier then you can also get thrown back in a time best forgotten fueled by Monster and Rockstar drinks, Hot Topic gift cards, studded belts, and way too much time spent on MySpace getting jealous of who’s on who’s Top 5. Again, if you know you know. 

 

   Well anyway they’re coming to a place in OakTown called the Starline Social Club. Cool never heard of it (shrugs). Well when I looked up the venue for you, I saw that the place looks really dope and tightnit. I like it a lot. It gives me a minimalist vibe with those lifeless walls. This place really does look sick for a heavy rock band to play in for sure. Pretty old-timey too, like an action packed western! You can check out the place before you go here on Yelp.
