Concert Preview: Low Water @ Gooskis and Nouveau Riche @ Shadow Lounge - Saturday May 19th
SAT. MAY 19TH @ GOOSKI'S in Polish Hill
Low
Water have a sound that takes you back to The Replacements
or even Big Star or Exile on Main Street era Rolling Stones. They avoid
the "drink whiskey, smoke cigarettes, sing in a gravelly voice about broken
hearts" bar band trap by writing good songs that stick in your head. Not to mention the girls in their videos are kinda cute. Aaron Jentzen
from the Pittsburgh City Paper wrote
about former Pittsburgher John Leitera and Low Water's "Who Said That Life
Is Over?"
LOW WATER - MOMENT OF WEAKNESS
LOW WATER - NEVER ALONE
LOW WATER - NEW COMPANY
NOUVEAU
RICHE
SAT. MAY 19TH @ SHADOW LOUNGE
Philadelphia's
Nouveau Riche
played their first show with TV on the Radio, Deerhoof and the Roots. Ironically
if you mix those three bands into some kind of mashup with Gang of Four, Radiohead
and The Clash you would end up with something very similar in sound to Nouveau
Riche. Their press release says that Nouveau Riche defines the 'post-genre'
sound due to their fearless experimentation in crossing genres, etc. These videos
on YouTube were actually my first exposure to them. It seems like this would
be a fun show.
NOUVEAU RICHE @ 5 SPOT 7/10/06
