Dolphin City

Something is to be said about the state of rock n roll if Lil Wayne’s forthcoming album and Blink 182’s reunion warrant excitement. I, however, am satisfied with the current music scene. Quality is out there; you just need to listen to the lower end of the dial.

With SoCal x SCA, the Student Committee of the Arts wants to showcase local, lesser-known artists who are sure to renew your faith in rock n roll. I believe Thursday’s performers Dolphin City can do just that. But I’m not sure if rock n roll is the right genre for their style of music. Their sound is so complex and multi-layered that I lack the music know-how to explain it. The enjoyable, listen-ability belies their intricacy but remains true to their eclectic list of influences, including Tom Waits, Michael Jackson, and Brian Eno. It’s almost surprising that such a sophisticated band was born from the red-cup culture of Newport Beach.

And for all that I’m building them up to be, Dolphin City remains humble with simple aspirations: “to write quality songs, to record those songs well, and to perform a live show that is exciting and engaging.”

Be sure to come see Dolphin City and Bodies of Water this Thursday in DeNeve Auditorium.

I like Lil Wayne the rapper but not Lil Wayne the rockstar. Have you heard "Prom Queen"? I am not impressed.

he older model develops 100bhp and the dolphin model 75, so the older model has more peppy engine.The dolphin type has DSI (double spark ignition) engine which means it has 8 spark plugs instead of 4 and the fuel average is supreme (over 20 on highway).The older model mileage is about 15.
The dolphin model is more aerodynamic and still used.It is much better for visibility and anticipation thus is not accident prone like the older model.Seats are also more confortable in this model.(like a sofa)
The variance is bhp does not matter much in Indian conditions.So go for the dolphin type.Best wishes
