Last night at the Troubadour, I went with a friend to see The Shys. I have to admit that I am not that familiar with them, but they totally blew me away last night. These guys are serious. A complete "Rock and Roll" experience!! High positive energy was flying through the sold out crowed. I was so pumped, I almost scaled the scaffolding and threw myself on the crowd! They were tight, completely put together both musically, lyrically, and even their look. It was their CD release party, and I highly recommend checking them out on iTunes or www.myspace.com/theshys. I had the opportunity to meet the fellows after the show, and they were truly genuine gentlemen.
After The Shys, we were given an awesome follow up from Carolina Liar!! I have missed their last few shows, and was so stoked to finally catch them, especially at the Troubadour. Again, a tight, all together sound. I have been a fan of theirs for a while, after checking them out when I heard that they were opening for LVD.
The other day at Amoeba, waiting for The Duke Spirit to perform, I sat in their listening station and listened to their whole album, and it is simply amazing. It's one of those albums where every song is amazing. They are great storytellers, melody makers, and all together classic rock n rollers!!
Again, check them out on iTunes or go to www.myspace.com/carolinaliar.
