So I went out to the Middle East Downstairs yesterday with Alex to see a show. It was pretty good. All three of those bands can be found on MySpace in case you want to hear some things. As normal with me I bought every album they had for sale so I have lots of new music ready for work tomorrow!

Lil’Ones I think was my favorite from the show. They remind me a lot of the Shins which is a very good thing. My other best way to describe them involves a small story. After playing a lot of Guitar Hero I I enjoyed the song “Even Rats” by The Slip. They came to UMass soon after so about 5 of us from Video Game club went to see the show. They were largely an improv band and kind of turned me off completely. Messing up lyrics on Even Rats and fading in and out of the song with noise improv also did not impress me. Lil’Ones is the band that I was hoping the Slip would be!

1990s were very fun and I loved the sound they got out of just guitar, bass and drums. Voxtrot sounded like I would really like their cd’s so I’m excited to get those out. The singer was very entertaining and a lot of the songs had really good hooks and interesting keyboard parts. All in all well worth the 12 bucks it cost to get in.
