The Spinto Band & Frightened Rabbit

What I love about going to a show, and when I say show, (I mean in the 300 people range, not concert size) is really seeing who is doing what and leading the songs. Something I can't get by playing the album on my computer, itunes, stereo, ipod, etc.

I never realized when listening to The Spinto Band how they sometimes seemed to channel some Pavement-Stephen Malkmus and even some devo-esque similarities.

The young band from Delaware remarked, on the day prior to the election, how California had so many propositions where in their state they only had one to choose from. They were enthusiastic about the tour with Frightened Rabbit, which followed them at The Echoplex.

Scottish band Frightened Rabbit delivered an uplifting performance for the crowd. With elements of their work comparable to The Bloc Party's "So Here We Are", where the songs progress to a uplifting momentum, it won't be long until we hear one of their songs in a movie or TV commercial in a effort to get across a anthemic vibe.
