Apples In Stereo / Poison Control - Rev Room
AIS rocked me and the Rev Room Sunday night, but they weren't alone. Apologies to all involved - but I had no idea. Shortly after I arrived tonight, Poison Control took the stage, and took the floor in front of the stage, and the audience, and everything else. Let me tell you -- Mute Math has nothing on these guys as far as their acrobatics are concerned. Hailing from Ames, IA, I do believe they fueled up on 85 Ethanol (or at least, corn something) before they came - and they left nothing but fumes for the rest of us to inhale when it was over. They must be one of the hardest working bands touring right now, and they set the stage for or a fabulous show by Apples in Stereo.
The Denver-based Indie/Power Pop group Apples In Stereo had the crowd constantly involved from the opening song off their Electronic Projects For Musicians CD until they closed 2 hours later, and AIS left them wanting more, though the local "Sunday night beer curfew" was used as an excuse for not playing longer. Not realizing that there was a "Sunday night music curfew" as well, though apparently there was, the crowd clamored for at least one encore, but to no avail -- the group was off to another land.
Oh well, I guess you have to stop sometime. And now I must stop as well. It's been a great 6 days, many thanks to those friends that put up with me during this week -- now that's its over, I can say its been a blast, but not one that I want to experience again for a while. To Mary Wilson, may you rest in peace - see you in September for ACL if you can stand the heat (it's the 27-29th btw). Lets go hear Dana Falconberry and Nathan Singleton while we're there. To everyone else, check you next week - at Little Rock's finest Live Music, wherever that may be.
