Terri has a good summary of last evening’s rock show. As she points out, when I saw Gravenhurst’s gear, I did worry that I was in for 45 minutes of white indie-rock boys kneeling in front of their effects pedals. But they were pretty good. She thought the singer/guitarist looked like a young Andy Partridge; I didn’t see it, but I did think the bass player looked uncannily like Ray Davies. The only funny thing about them was that they seemed to need every single song to be both soft, and then LOUD; very slow and then FAST; all in one song.

Broadcast were good; I find their albums to be a bit overwrought, but they were a little more rockin’ live.

I hadn’t been to the Paradise in ages, and it wasn’t as bad a venue as I remembered. Only bad beer, though. We were standing right up by the stage (for the better pictures, of course). From there, we could see the sign taped to the pillar in front of the stage that said “Boston, Mass. ‘Paradise Rock Club’” to remind the band where they were.

Good night, Springtown!
