[Houston TX] four non-scenester
guys playing semi-mopey semi-college-rock music – if I were being generous, I
would compare them to Decemberists or Mountain Goats except they were far too
unweird to compare to these bands – the lead singer was plenty insecure and
depressed by the state of things but still too unemotional to be compared to
Bright Eyes – and that was their problem – I could have tolerated a sound I
don’t enjoy so much, but they just didn’t have a defined sound - two of the
members had their Birkenstocks or whatever next to their mics and were wiggling
their bare toes in the carpeting which was irritating – more irritating was
being five feet from the band, you can imagine the acoustical nightmare – the
price you pay for DIY I guess – my MusicSoulDoppelganger described this band as
a ‘high school band’ – we agreed they didn’t do it for us. (Photo courtesy of
