The Church @ Varsity Theater

A few weekends back I wailed into the void searching for a some music to see locally and Splink of Radio Clandestino ^[2] answered.

So we headed over to Varsity Theater in Dinkytown ^[3] to catch Adam Franklin (of Swervedriver) ^[4] & Bolts of Melody opening for The Church. ^[5]

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 ^[7] here’s a B&N site with some previews. Check out Space Saviour or Lunar ^[8]

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 ^[11]

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?
