Lion Versus at North Star 1.12.11

LION VERSUS — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 18:59:31 +0000

On Wednesday January 12th Lion Versus played at North Star Bar with Black Horse Motel and The Sea Around Us. Black Horse Motel is a band full of impressive harmonies and old time sound with an indie rock kick. A great concoction, we enjoyed hearing them live. Also added to the bill was The Sea Around Us. Their flamenco, and jazz influenced melodies meshed together wonderfully. Their rock was never just “noise” every note is purposeful while still being aggressive and experimental at times. Check them out.

Next in line Lion Versus will hit up the Blockley Pourhouse Wednesday February 9th. Hope to see you there.

…Thanks to Chris Rossello for starting the night off right. We are all looking forward to his new album to be released soon. Great lyricist and melody maker. We followed it up and had a great time, we introduced some new elements to the set including some marching drums in preparation for what is to come for our CD release party in the Spring (oh, yes it’s happening)…Boom Chick from Brooklyn is definitely one band that you need to check out. Raw rock n roll with a bluesy, surf party twist. Guitar wonder Frank Hoier, and back up screamer/drummer extraordinaire, Moselle Spiller. Their release debut Show Pony is out now. Be sure to pick up a copy. We hope to have them back this way soon.

Last played the Casey Bowen Band from NJ. These guys played their hearts out. I had the chance to talk with them after their set and they said it was their 3rd show. Wow. Super tight so early in their formation. We wish them all the best and look forward to the direction their sound moves towards….

Up next for Lion Versus, North Star Bar January 12th. We will be going on last that evening so we hope to see you all out there because we are playing with some great bands including Black Horse Motel, The Fallen Troubadours, and Philadelphia new comers City Slides.
