i won't state explicitly whom that refers to or who said that, but i will say that it refers to a certain banjo player of a certain band from a certain failing michigan city. and while i like to keep chelsea doyle's anonymity most of the time, i'll just go ahead and say she might be involved in this. either way, frontier ruckus, the apache relay, rayland baxter, and rev. peyton's big damn band put on a damn fun show at the end on saturday night. it was complete with michael ford jr's enigmatic/remarkable stage presence, rayland baxter's soothing tunes, the raw sexual prowess of frontier ruckus and their ever-elusive lyrics, and washboard playing extroardinaires-rev peyton.
(frontier ruckus. banjo player stage right. left. ah. you can see the suspenders)
all in all, a solid saturday night.
I believe they're from queens, and i believe they're often compared to owl city. well, no offense, owl city; i like these guys much better. they're playing with cymbals eat guitars and bear in heaven. never heard the latter two. should be interesting. particularly if there is a facial-haired banjo player.
On another note, I have a couple short vids from the show. Although, I was playing a decent amount of air violin (much to most everyone's dismay,) so there's not much.
Apache Relay:
Frontier Ruckus Vid to follow...
until my next and inevitably embarrassing social experience...
