On what is becoming an Easter tradition, we saw another band on Easter Sunday (last year was an awesome performance with Love is All). This show didn't disappoint either. After a recommendation from a friend to see Lord Huron, I wanted to make sure to be there in plenty of time for them... What little I caught from their recorded sound, I liked.
They're a group of good lookin' "indie" guys from California. The sound was pretty good too, though I was missing something... then I think I realized what it might be. Call me a jaded Clevelander, but I have a hard time feeling the passion and strife from bands that are from L.A. These guys played some great, sunny folk-pop music, but I guess it felt a little more surface than I was hoping for. (got some great pics though!)
I got the opposite vibe from gritty, urgent feel of The Rural Alberta Advantage, who put on a good show as usual. Though I knew what I was getting in to, having seen them twice before (8/26/09 & 1/17/10). I missed the intimacy of the Beachland Tavern, but glad to see these guy pulling in a respectable crowd in the Ballroom.
