The Church @ Varsity Theater
So we headed over to Varsity Theater in Dinkytown to catch Adam Franklin (of Swervedriver) & Bolts of Melody opening for The Church.
What can I say? This show blew my doors off.
Guitar, guitar, and more guitar?
Yes, please.
The Church @ Varsity Theater
The skinny:
Venue: The Varsity Theater = Awesome. Really becoming one of my favorite venues.
Adam Franklin & the Bolts of Melody:Trippy. These guys were mushroom teaified.
The Church: Whoa. Guitar driven mayhem that will built into a cresendo of rock and roll back into a wall of acid-rock-esque sound. Add amazing drumming, polished musicianship ,and Aussie energy; well, then you’ve got yourself a Rock and Roll show. Check out their latest Untitled #23 here’s a B&N site with some previews. Check out Space Saviour or Lunar

I suggest you see either band or both bands if they’re anywhere near your city as they both put on quite a show. Tea, optional.
Special thanks to The Varsity Theater and those crazy cats at Sue Mclean & Associates
It’s Independence Day Weekend, so keep it safe, pause for the cause, remember the reason for the season, and rock on.
What are you listening to?

Well, I’m working on a soundtrack for my life. I’ve divided each significant period into volumes. I have fond memories of much music and came of age at an awesome time in the history of music but alas, I only included music that I would pay for on each volume. I did include some honorable mentions (and already own CDs with much music on it) but the numbered tracks are the ones I intend to purchase.
This week, I’ll share the first volume, which I think may end up being two CDs. :)
