Blue in Green

Clock radio
This was a haunting melody for the early years. As I would go to sleep at night, a fixed FM broadcast, in my case WFYV Rock 105, would play popular rock from my blue LED clock radio.

Live music is just what we needed after seeing the Bodies Exhibit. this is just the boost we needed. What a lift!!rnrnThe Plains were very enjoyable, loud and good breaks in the songs. While the singing was mostly screaming it was authoritative and useful and had some decent character. Drumming was spot on and most of all the Bass was just terrific in leading the rhythm. Absolute Zero was by far my favorite and a good example of the above, Well done. I plan to go see them again on 03/09 at Jules Mae’s w/Open Choir Fire and Rosyvelt.rnrnThe main act, Vomiting Unicorns, while promising from what I heard on their myspace, was disappointing in real life. The set was very short, (only a few songs), and agreeably had a sound a little too borrowed from Sonic Youth. The Korg N5EX is very psychedelically stylized and enjoyable, but too brief in use and the volume was entirely too loud, (needlessly and excessively loud). I’d give them another chance, and it would be nice to hear them when they have come closer to finding their own sound.
