Hopewell,
Grand Mal, Grey Does Matter, Anthems for Odyssey - Club Midway $10
I don't
have a lot of time to write as its my birthday, but the forcast
for tri-state area tonight: another fine summer night to go to a
show. Just look below and find legends like the Poncena/Joe Bataan
show in Prospect Park and Rocket From the Tombs Dot Dash show at
Southpaw in Brooklyn, Dirtbombs at Maxwell's in New Jersey, or even
The Germs in Manhattan. But tonight is quite a reason to celebrate
- a rare
Grand Mal performance with their good old friends and
collaborators Hopewell.
If you need to learn more about the Mal,, definitely one of my fave
bands, just look
around the site. As for Hopewell, they are sort of
a millenial update of the sort of quirky and composed psychedelic
classic rock sound of the 1990s Flaming Lips or that decade's version
of leader Jason Russo's former band, Mercury Rev. Though you can
tell where he's coming from, his take is totally unique - with exciting
compositions, offbeat lyrics, sophisticated vocal harmonies, creative
arrangements, strange sounds, and truckloads of energy. Quite a
double-header...
