GREAT NORTHERN
Great
Northern's newest release, "Trading Twilight For Daylight," is a
collection of shimmeringly lovely yet wildly contrasting shades of the pop song
experience. Densely layered melodies are draped with Rachel Stolte and Solon
Bixler's signature velvety chimes, stately piano, luxuriant keyboard, string
flourishes and smartly counterpointed electric and acoustic guitars.
The Comas'
unique brand of psychedelic garage pop has been highly regarded by critics and
fans, and the band must be seen live to be believed. In the last few years they
have shared the stage with such acts as The Breeders, Sparklehorse, Mando Diao,
Dashboard Confessional and VietNam.
With Twilight Sleep. $13 adv, $15 door. Doors 8pm, show at 9pm
