I remember talking to the singer of Casxio, Lucas Guerin, a few years ago telling him to start a band because his solo stuff was really good. He kept saying he was trying, and was looking for people, but to no avail. Then one day out of nowhere it seems, it happened. He pulled Zach Schrock (Drums), Eric Saez (Guitar), and Andrea Choe (Keys) out of the magic band member hat and had a band. With this full band, Lucas could realize his funk dreams and bring more soul to music than any white man ever has…yes even more than Justin Timberlake. Casxio then smartly started to play in the Silverlake area…which is the only thing resembling a scene in Los Angeles, and not too long after booked a Monday residency at the Silverlake Lounge.
Casxio finished their final residency at The Silverlake Lounge, Monday the 26th of November. They always put on a great show, and Lucas oozes so much sex on stage, if I had panties to throw at him I would. He has so much charisma and says naughty things in the middle of songs making it like you are on a never ending escalated heated date with him. The rest of the band members create their own flare and style in the band and bring it all together to really make it Casxio. They have really come into their identity and know how each other play, and are getting better each time I see them. For this last show, they got guitarist Alex Gedeon (formerly of Trick and the Heartstrings) to join them for a song, and Sam Sparro joined them on the last song for a rendition of his song Black & Gold, which was an entertaining close for the night and the whole residency.
Casxio’s next show is January 19th at Spaceland with Oliver Future, so bring your dancing shoes and come out…seriously, bring your workout clothes, you’ll need it.
End Scen,
