LOW RED LAND
The Elbo Room
Feb. 6, 2008

Loud, swelling guitars and desperately earnest, often shouted vocals. Indie punk and hardcore riffs atop driving rhythms. Sheer blasts of echoy guitar noise.

VOWS
Hotel Utah
Jan. 23, 2007

It was almost Thursday morning before Vows took the stage. Right away I was thrilled by their cowboy hats and tucked-in button down rancher's shirts.

DEATH SENTENCE: PANDA!
SHEARING PINK
THE MUTATORS
Artists Television Access
Dec. 12, 2007

A good deal of the evening's pleasure was derived from the tripped-out cartoons on screen behind the band, especially those that featured tacos and hotdogs growing arms that had more tacos and hotdogs as hands.

FROM MONUMENT TO MASSES
DESA
SILIAN RAIL
Bottom of the Hill
Dec. 1, 2007

The place was packed; I suspected it was the loyal and sizeable followings of indie darlings Silian Rail and From Monument to Masses, but I think it was probably more because of all the teenie-boppers out to see Desa.

Was it the best show of 2007? A life changing experience? Did people faint and pregnant women go into labor when they heard those sweet Irish voices?
