Caught a few tunes of local opener Hanging Hills. Well-crafted pop rock melodies from the two guitar, bass and drums outfit. Vocalist's child-like delivery was engaging.
the Soil and the Sun were a seven piece band from Michigan. I knew I was in for a treat when I passed a large converted schoolbus parked in front of bar. Two guitars, bass, drums, and three female keyboardist/other comprised the band. One keyboardist played oboe, another percussion, and the third played violin and third guitar. Walls of sound and five-part harmony vocals were great. I am always curious of the cohesiveness and the visual of this large an outfit. Though there are many pieces to keep together, tsats have a future if they can stick together. This band reminded me of a spacier Edward Sharpe with its communal vibe.
