Flaws (That Continue to Perform)


For the past few months, we've been craving more In Waves and luckily they accomodated us by playing a few shows in consecutive weeks. Given the fact that their show count is still in single digits we thought it wise to get our fill before they hit the doubles and their audiences reach the quadruples. Fans of Ride, Spiritualized, Slowdive, and other bands that rhyme with shoegazer should get in quick on this. Cooper is one of the best drummers we've seen in a long time while Jimmy throws in just enough layers of gorgeous looping melodies and vocale grande. We predict big things with this one. Big.

Their Saturday show was with another duo from San Francisco, Master/Slave (pronounced with the slash and not to be confused with Los Angeles's own thunder blues rock duo Master Slave). Finishing off a month-long tour (and smelling like it), the sequencer slash midi-injected twosome put on one damn good show. Formerly known as Life in Braille, they have one 7" available although to be honest the recordings don't do them justice.

damn good post!
 
I've been out for awhile. These are great finds. Particularly like Master/Slave. Not sure about the "slash" (it's hard to pronounce). Let me know if you set up another show with them. I'd like to check them out.
 
those in waves guys are mind-blowing. seriously impressive. their shows are polished and the sound is a little of what we like to call in "the business"..."professional". and apparently they're both single too!
