Live Music: Sept 30 - Oct 6, 2012
Your weekly handpicked indie music shows in Idaho by your favorite music loving monster.
I choose FRIDAYYY - yes, the whole night. It's going to be a fun-filled magically musical time in Boise...and luckily you've got me to guide you through the entire eves with two rockin' back-to-back shows!
First, head down to the Egyptian Theatre to catch Idaho Live & The Record Exchange bringing in a Sub Pop night with Poor Moon (a side project of members from Fleet Foxes) and DEFINITELY stick around to enjoy the beautiful, melodic sounds of Beach House - YAY they're finally going to be in Boise!! It's gonna be so so rad....I've even heard they'll be taking out some rows of seats to accomodate those who like to groove vertically!
Beach House's decision to call this record Bloom is almost too perfect. Over the course of four albums that's exactly what this band has done. Two people from Baltimore started by making incense-smelling, curtains-drawn bedroom pop. Now, eight years later, they make luminous, sky-sized songs that conjure some alternate universe where Cocteau Twins have headlined every stadium on Atlantis. "Bloom" is also what these 10 songs do, each one starting with the sizzle of a lit fuse and at some fine moment exploding like a firework in slow motion. The word captures the music's slow sonority: the round, gleaming edges of Alex Scally's arpeggios and how, in Victoria Legrand's unhurried mouth, all words seem to have a few extra vowels.

...thennnnn, scurry on down to The Crux for a Duck Club afterparty!! Be there just in time to catch new local singer/songwriter Lionsweb belt out some serious lyrics before you rock your fancy dancy pants off to Portland's Wooden Indian Burial Ground (another side project, this time of members from Run on Sentence) help'em get to CMJ by purchasing some merch.
