Sour Boy Bitter Girl AND A.M. Pleasure Assassins

TWO PERFORMANCES

One of my real favorites, A.M. Pleasure Assassins came back to make up for a lost session. I really act like an idiot around this band. I am not sure why, I really really like their music. They make shit from somewhere real real real. They brought a friend, Sour Boy Bitter Girl that also makes really good music. Both are in Fort Collins. They should come to Denver more.

Achille Lauro

Achille Lauro's Luke Mossman (guitar, keys) and Jon Evans (bass) stopped by the Local Shakedown yesterday before their packed show at the Hi-Dive. The new album Flight or Flight (yes, that's two flights) is out and available on CD, mp3, and vinyl.

The record is fluid, catchy, and polished and after hitting up the Hi-Dive last night their live performances are of the same quality. Lead vocalist Matt Close's stage presence is captivating and quirky - there is something that set his vocals apart from other indie/pop/alt rockers. His voice moves fast with control and effortlessness. Mossman and Evans demand the same attention with a consistent rhythmic drive that rocks hard and kept the audience moving. Trumpets skillfully blasted on select tunes that added to the high energy of the crowd - a scene full of fans that gave off friendly vibes, appreciative of the music being made. Don't miss the next time Achille Lauro takes the stage, they are in the batch of Denver's finest.
