An alternative title for this post could be “Masked Men Rock Downtown Alley.” Seeing a band like Hello My Name is Red reminds me why I write an indie music blog. Just down the alley from The Vivian Girls show at The Smell last Saturday, three guys wheeled up in a black SUV, hooked up their amps to a car battery, and kicked more ass in a few songs than a lot of bands could in a two hour set. The band does an accurate job describing its sound on their MySpace page as “loud, catchy, bouncy, sloppy, soothing sounds.” The outside venue didn’t provide the best lighting conditions unfortunately, but the video below provides a taste of the sweet acid these guys serve up. Short interview with the lead singer about halfway through.
