Concert Mon Dec 17 2007
OUTDANCED! feat. The Sounds
Every Tuesday night the Funky Buddha Lounge has been running its Outdanced! series of bands and DJs that bring the funk without the baggage of weekend warriors and obligations for anything besides really excellent music you’re willing to sacrifice a work/school hangover for.
Head over there tomorrow night where The Sounds will be hosting an after-party following their sold-out Vic Theater show. This Swedish group’s 2006 Dying To Say This To You is an immensely strong collection of rock, straight up, with each song blanketed in it’s own unique blend of synth and dance beats. Lead singer Maja Ivarsson’s vocals hit you in a place rarely touched by female vocalists, crawling along the lower octaves and with a dark timbre that provide great contrast with the upbeat musicality of the rest of the band. If for nothing else, maybe she’ll sing us a line or two from that Snakes on a Plane song.
The show is featuring guest DJ Jason Tyler. Hopefully he does a better job mixing The Sounds than Patrick Stump. The “official” after-party set starts at 11 PM w/ a $5 cover and, of course, 21+.
