For our final night of these little trifecta of July shows, we now head to Echo Curio,
After only a handful of shows, LESANDS landed in our lap several months ago when they were still called Arrows (and then Arrowws and, then for two seconds, Canoes). We've known drummer Mr. Plotnik for a long while so we know he wouldn't just join any band for the heck of it, especially after being in one of the best ones ever in Castledoor for nearly half a decade. Not surprisingly, the band is already being earmarked with buzzwords like "buzzband" but that's a term we don't use around these parts. Mostly, because it's trademarked and we'll probably get sued.
We haven't done a show with Venus Infers in four years. Not only does that statement make us feel old, it makes us feel guilty for not asking them back for another. We just figured they wouldn't be interested in playing the tiny performance spaces we'd prefer seeing them in after they've been playing in all the thousand capacity joints they've graduated to (they just opened for Pinback last weekend, for the love of gosh). We were wrong. Welcome back. Oh, and our favorite VI song of all time is "Waterfalls." You're welcome. New album You'll Understand When You're Older out now.
Roughed Up Folk is one of five bands we've seen this year in the running for best new band of 2010. In fact, a year or two from now, the memory of opening this little show at Echo Curio will be long gone as they likely will be headlining much spacier spaces. Fans of Neil Young, Band of Horses, and Wolf Parade need to get in missionary position for this band right this second. New record Must Be the Moonlight available now.
Upon first glance of Your Mom/Your Dad photos on their websites you probably know what you're in for. Truth is, we can't just have a night of three hot young indie rock bands coming in to Echo Curio and making us look cooler than we are. We gotz to keep thingz realz. And, so following in line with a distinguished few that have made their debut at Echo Curio (ie. Best Coast, Let Go of the Rail), we bring you Your Mom/Your Dad.
We hope Apollo, I mean, Grant is pleased with this sacrifice, I mean, show. If not, it maybe another year before we come back. Pray for us.
