I'm Such A Liar!
I can't believe I went this long before posting again. I really had a few problems, personal and financial going for a few days, but I've got most of them cleared up now, so I'm good to go. I'm ready to rock. So unbutton your pants, it'll make it easier to blow them off now.
So, first off, I'm not really going to post anything on Sigur Ros, mostly because everyone has already beaten me to that punch, and done it much better. Matt has already done a good job (and I called him a punk for it too) on posting photos and a story on them. But, he didn't get to enter the show based on nefarious deeds....yes, that's right, we beat up some little kids for their passes!
Okay....we didn't do that, but we did have a good time, my friends Nick and Lauren. It was actually kind of cool, at one point I said to myself that the music was very romantic at times, then out of nowhere, two couples start to slow dance, it was like they could read my mind. Yep, we have mutants in Columbus.
On to better things:
I had a great time at the Chasing Game/Chaselounge show back....I don't know, a week ago or more? Something like that. Anywhatzles, both bands performed great (I was only there for The Chasing Game, but I came out loving another band). The Chasing Game put on a good performance, but I still think they need probably another year or so before they're really really tight. Some of their songs sound the same and the lead's vocals need to brought up a bit louder, but when those are my only complaints, I don't think that's all that bad.
But Chaselounge, oh yeah, they were more my cup of tea.
They have a great 50's rock meets jangly power pop. Kind of like The Hang Ups, who had this great great song called "Jump Start"....which you can download here. Enjoy that song, it was on the Chasing Amy soundtrack (another appearance for a soundtrack that does not exist!)
But this band is pretty damn good. Shawny Scott, lead singer and guitarist has it down, really. He's a good looking guy, so I'm sure that helps bring in the ladies, but they'll stay for his voice and lyrics. Their sort of pattoned "Doo-Rock" style really fits the whole band, especially on stand out track "The Postman & The Constable", which features back and forth vocals between Scott and bass player Aaron....Scott, but I believe there is no relation. Anywho, the song just makes you tap your toe, which turns into moving your feet, which of course leads to dancing the night away.
The rest of the band is just great, with guitarist Chris Lambert (he must be the only one?) and drummer Adam Eilers keeping the energy up. The band just looks like they have a ton of fun on stage, and that always makes for a great show.
You can check out both bands at their respective MySpace profiles here and here.
P.S. I will soon continue my High School album posts and will have an interview with friend and musician Sarah Saturday, who must finally answer the damn interview! *glowers at Sarah* Till then, stay hard!
