Here and There

Went to Café Du Nord last night to see Quasi. I approached the band with low expections (which were later born out), but more tellingly, I waved aside the possibility of either of the opening acts being worth listening to.

Regardless, a friend and I arrived early enough to hear the entire set of the first band, Bedroom Walls. A few songs into it, we realized it actually sounded quite good, and was coming into the back room of the club at a considerate and wholly reasonable volume.

We got up and went into the main music room. There we witnessed this septet crone their sweet “romanticore” melodies, much in the way water flows over smooth rocks in a steady stream. Sorry, the band inspired poetic thoughts.

Anyway, check them out if you get the chance. A few tracks are available on their website, and there’s a place to purchase some music. The band even has one album for sale on iTunes.
