good food + good friends + good music = DGAF

DGAF has discovered that you just can't go wrong at the Tribal Café . It's definitely become one of my favorite venues to see friends' bands. It's a small, cozy place, but the vibe is good, and it's a nice little place to hang out. It also doubles as a surprisingly decent place to see bands. The best part is that it's all ages, and it serves delicious food!

Don't let the word "café" fool you, because I've seen places way bigger that are actually labeled "restaurants" or "diners" and they don't have a FRACTION of what's on the menu at the Tribal Café. They have an endless selections of smoothies, shakes, freshly-made juices, and that's not even counting all the other canned and bottled beverages that they carry. And don't even get me started on the food! I still can't even remember half of what I saw on the menu... but they serve everything from chicken adobo to tortas to veggie burgers to vegan waffles and everything else in between. Like The Waffle
that we previously reviewed, this place literally has something for everyone! And yes, the food is delicious and inexpensive. There's couches to sit on and books to read...



It's also rare to be at such a cool venue, eating good food, AND seeing a show where every single band was good! Thanks to Last Legs for setting such an awesome night up!



Our friends The Stoned Koalas opened with a fun, energetic set. Odi, John, & Efrain definitely brought it! They're all so down to earth and friendly... so don't be afraid to say hi to them! They all genuinely love music and their diverse influences show. They're not afraid to go up on stage and just be themselves. They don't need labels or pretentiousness, they just play and have a good time... the party's on this side!





Up next were The Masks We Made who were enjoyable and melodic.







I was surprised and impressed by the sass and catchy tunes of On the Five. They were kind of punk, kind of poppy, and yet managed to rock the violin in each song!









Last Legs, though, are the troopers of the night. They were not only short a member (Deirdre, who was at home sick with food poisoning!) but Maria had just recently had foot surgery and had to walk with crutches! Andrew and Maria performed as a duo, with Maria sitting down and Deirdre's pre-recorded drum tracks playing in the background, and still managed to WORK IT! The sound levels were good, It was still a tight set, and they pulled it off with flying colors. Be sure to check them out! I can't really describe their sound... I'd call it noise-pop, and you'll find yourself singing and dancing along to their songs.









Definitely the DGAF winners of the night!
