Based on 38 concert reviews, the critic consensus is that Crocodiles is rated as a mediocre live performer, with shows that lack substantial critical acclaim. Crocodiles concert reviews describe live shows and performances as authentic and infectious.
Crocodiles are a two-piece indie rock/noise pop from San Diego, US formed in 2008 playing lo-fi new wave, featuring former members of The Plot to Blow up the Eiffel Tower. They have released a 7" on Zoo Music, and a split 7" on Art Fag Recordings with Dum Dum Girls and Graffiti Island.
In person Crocodiles combine reptilian cool with an admirable work ethic: the San Diego duo of Brandon Welchez and Charles Rowell recently released Crimes of Passion their fourth album of broiling psych-rock in five years.
A performance full of contagious energy Crocodiles proved both that as a band and on their new LP they are still able to retain their post-punk authenticity.
The short-haired blonde drummer Alianna Kalaba had the rhythm in the pocket; along with the organ (covered in a California Republic flag) reminiscent of Clint Boon’s sound.
The live ambience of the space itself, which resonates intimately during generally quieter sets, can verge on cacophonous when a band containing more than two guitarists or four members takes the stage.
Playing a three-night high-intensity residency at the Silver Dollar during North by Northeast allowed for the San Diego band to get familiar with the Toronto crowd.
