The Band With An Odd Name
If you follow the city's music scene to any length it's probable you've heard of Brighton, MA and probably read something about how their name is odd, considering they're a band from Chicago. Still, odd name aside, Brighton, MA is a band of note with a sound that is making music fans take a close listen. Formed by Matthew Kerstein, formerly of popular Scotland Yard Gospel Choir, the band has recently released a self-titled debut. Brighton, MA doesn't come off with a typical indie sound easily traced back to any musical forefather. Thier style is as much tied in Sixties pop as is in standard mood music of today's fare. Warm, simple and entrancing, Brighton, MA often offers up songs that feel like they deserve to be on Wes Anderson movie soundtracks. See what they can do live tonight at the Lakeshore Theater with Lacona and Gringo Starr.
