| Dog Day cuts like a knife
Make no mistake, Dog Day is a power trio. They're a polished power trio that has a sound that rips through the speakers like a fireball. Adding an edge to cover tunes sharp enough to cut glass. Their originals are songs that are kept simple enough for everyone to get the first time around, bound tightly by strands of raw energy.Dog Day holds to the traditional power trio made popular in the 1960s. A true power trio has one lead guitar, one bass and one drummer. One of the first power trios was Buddy Holly and The Crickets, staying true to the basic formula of guitar, bass and drums. The power trio was exemplified by The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Cream. These groups laid the foundation for future power trios such as James Gang, Grand Funk Railroad, Motorhead, Green Day, King's X and Nirvana.

Kava: San Jose festival showcases top-notch local talent for free
It's getting harder and harder for great musicians to break away from their day jobs and get on the road. Which for fans means that some of the best local talent still plays area festivals, often for the right price -- free! This weekend offers a classic example with downtown San Jose's Tapestry Arts Festival, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday. Great, diverse music will be played on a handful of stages. Steve Czarnecki's Soul Jazz Quintet is built around the Hammond B-3, that full-blustered organ that gave the old soul classics, like Booker T's ``Green Onions,'' their flavor. Czarnecki's band includes singer Nate Pruitt, who has taught a lot of San Jose's finest singers the art of vocals. They play at 11:45 a.m. Saturday on the 98.5 KFOX/95.3 KRTY stage.
