These Wild Plains – These Wild Plains (2015)

These Wild Plains
These Wild Plains
2015

These Wild Plains have packaged up their Evils and “Break Your Heart” EPs (along with the previously-unheralded-on-these-pages-but-equally-as awesome Hey, To Clear The Air EP) into an easy to consume self-titled collection. Now you can get lost in all of their warm, haunting, heart-breaking, fuzzy, twangy, reverb-drenched songs without interruption. Although, I’d gladly get up to flip over the record if they pressed this thing on vinyl.

Watts @ Midway Cafe 10.3.2015

It had been far, far too long since I had last seen Watts. If there was any doubt, the opening riff of “20 to 12” drove the point home with gusto.

John Powhida @ Midway Cafe 10.3.2015

John Powhida has a gift. His solo set at The Midway for the Fireking vinyl release show was 40 of the most entertaining minutes of my 2015. J-Po’s keen life observations and his ability to make the mundane musical is unrivaled in this town.

The Wrong Shapes – “Faith In Make-Believe” (2015)

“Faith In Make-Believe”
2015

September’s edition of the The Wrong Shapes’ Single of the Month series is a twisted Disney funeral dirge. The frightening and fanciful “Faith In Make-Believe” drifts through the darkness, finding its light in an undeniable chorus refrain. This is some dark magic.

Stars Like Ours @ Midway Cafe 9.25.2015

How do you celebrate the release of a two catchy-as-heck singles? Why don’t you bring your friends down to The Midway for a party? You can rock out your tunes and maybe throw in a Teenage Fanclub or Guided By Voice cover. Maybe both. Good call, Stars Like Ours.

Jess Collins & Steph Curran @ Midway Cafe 9.25.2015

Jess Collins and Steph Curran of The Static Dynamic^* showed that you can still be intense even when you dial back the bombast. Their set was part of the Stars Like Ours release show at The Midway.
