Riding high on the release of their latest single, The Deep North brought their ardent indie rock to an appreciative crowd at The Middle East Downstairs.
Velah @ The Middle East Downstairs 8.23.2013
I had been looking forward to this one for a while. Velah, The Deep North, The Susan Constant and The Field Effect together at The Middle East Downstairs? That’s a pretty darn good bill. Velah got things going with songs old, new and re-imagined. I think their delay drenched crescendos are still reverberating through the former bowling alley.
Emily Peal And The Band Of Skinny Men @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 8.7.2013
Every Emily Peal And The Band Of Skinny Men performance is like a master course in dynamics. I can’t think of a band in town that has more control over their musical bombast than this cast of characters. They can smolder and they can flare. It’s not uncommon for an all-consuming hush to be followed by a blinding shower of audible sparks. Pay attention. You won’t want to miss this.
