Nu Music Nite on Tuesday, March 3, 2009

More heavy rock bands! Two hard rock bands start the night. Then it gets a little freaky...

Let's go back in time, shall we, to this week's Nu Music Night at the Horseshoe Tavern.

The night begins with the pulsating rock of Distorsis:



From weathered to the unfettered-- next to take stage is the sandswept, prog-rock sound of Frail Fragment:



Lenny of Frail Fragment joins us in the basement to banter about his personal views on love and war. And record-making, too:



Also on the bill tonight is Moondog Uproar. They play us a solid, brash sock-hop dance-rock:



The 11:40 closer is always a crap shoot. Tonight's countryish closer, the Low Heroes, has its moments but we could do without the strained vocal ad-libs:



The combined variety of experience, influences and inventiveness that the bands collectively give us each Nu Music Nite is something unique that I haven't experienced on a consistent, weekly basis anywhere else but at the Horseshoe. Kudos to all bands putting themselves out there on that time-honoured stage :)

I'll look out for you next Tuesday at the Horseshoe Tavern!
