The band is called "of Verona" (you can download their EP for free on facebook). They played a pared down set... I guess the full band is usually, well, fuller, but man this was a really good version of the band. I would say they are a cross between October Project and Grey Eye Glances... but quite a bit edgier. They have an amazing lead female vocalist who sounds a bit celtic but I'm not sure she is. Incredibly intense performer, really captivating. I think Raining was their best track live... after listening to the music on facebook I will say that these recordings a bit too slick and really do not do the band justice... so see them live if you can. They are at the Viper Room all September in LA. I think they fit squarely in the ecto genre. Check'em out! - -mjm Michael Mendelson Email mjmjminla@yahoo.com Voice home 310-876-9711 cell 310-995-1319 office 626-775-3856 fax 626-775-3701 www.DietCoachGirl.com webmaster ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2011 23:28:01 -0700 From: Gregory Bossert Subject: Kristin Hersch interview in the Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2011/aug/22/kristin-hersh-memoir-interview-edinburgh - -g - -- www.gregorynormanbossert.com -- - -- www.suddensound.com -- ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #172 ***************************
