Later, Alligator! regularly bursts forth from the gaping maw of the city of San Jose, California to show the world that just because you're a dweeb who's into niche stuff, doesn't mean you can't play power chords in a way that makes audiences wiggle in their boots. A band of four, the gators hold themselves to high standards, sure to present themselves as prime examples of regular dudes who like to rock. Wyatt Miller with his gentle tickling of the guitar strings. Dominic Nohai, hitting the drums carefully and decisively. Noah Sanchez de Tagle, making four strings sounds infinite. Alec Adams acts as a George Washington figure, but the main difference is, he has all his teeth.
Later, Alligator! offers their latest in a series of attempts to bottle the human condition, Gator Special. This collection of songs, distilled from the sweat and milt that condenses on the walls of their practice space, reads as a menu that could and will satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. Party platters, Bananas, Burgers, Espresso, Donut, the band has a smorgasbord to offer and all they require in return is a few moments of your time and attention. Picture this: you walk into your favorite three and a half star restaurant and are greeted by the maîtred’. A twelve course meal sits there on the long family style table waiting to be eaten. Your cheque has been paid, all you need to do is indulge.
