Last Night's show was supposed to start at 8:30 @ the Echo. But the case wasn't the time nor venue. Due to serious technical/crapped systems & stuff not working, the show moved downstairs to Echoplex, begun around 10:30! The Echoplex is such a sweet venue and you can tell by the seating, larger stage, & the clean bathrooms! (unheard of). Here are some pic of the show.
Kira Kira, Caroline, and Tom Brosseau opened with shorter sets w/ regards to time but Tom really rocked. Kira Kira played (played with) a lot of...things. Sounds like Mum + Sigur Ros. Mice Parade is an anagram of Adam Pierce, the band's lead. The set included the usual ensemble; Doug Scharin of HiM, vibraphonist Dylan Cristy of Dylan Group (who last night was also lead clapper), Caroline "filling" Kristín's vocals (who did her a short 4-5 song set as an opener), & I especially took note of Dan Lippel's awesome strumming. Adam also doubled & bounced with Doug on a 2nd drum kit for "Nights Wave" if I remember correctly. Caroline did an awesome job w/ "Boatroom" from Bem Vinda-Vontade. They also played a few off their latest self titled album including "Tales of Las Negras" & "Sneaky Red"...If only the set was longer....
