Corndogorama: Summerbirds in the Cellar

After a ho hum first number their synthesizers decided to accept the festival, and boy are we lucky they decided to cooperate.  The band has learned something quite important about music.  Your drummer doesn’t have to play fast to be heard. As I write this, Summerbirds have moved onto their second song, and that combination of driving percussion and swirly guitars are sending goosebumps down my spine.

Their lyrics are a little lost on those powerful but muffled main speakers, which may be a good thing.  Songwriting is an interesting art form.  Everyone looks for something different, and yet, even though I only catch every third word, it sounds like SITC wrote these songs just for me.

I run sound at night so I didn’t get a chance to see a lot of the headliners but from what I’ve seen, Summerbirds in the Cellar have my pick for first place, which is actually an understatement of how much I enjoyed their set.  This band may be one of my new favorites PERIOD

(earplugs removed, bliss ensues)
