Upcoming Show: Low Red Land and Appamattox at Ken Club Friday 8/21

Tomorrow night at the Ken Club is sure to be a treat. San Francisco’s Low Red Land have released three full length albums, and their newest is called Dog Hymns. The album is full of classic indie/classic emo guitar interplay. There’s also hints and the influence of Americana embedded in this material, but never relying on the form’s derivative and predictable song structures. The singer conjures longing with earnest lyrics and a voice that wears a heart hanging visibly from its ragged sleeve. It all adds up to great rock music, that I’ve been dying to see live for a while now. They are playing with an noisier and punker Brooklyn band called Appomattox. So that is my recommendation for Friday night, if you choose to accept it.

Here’s a song from their new album titled “Landmark.” A refreshing lack of irony in this music. Everything must not be post-modern or post-post modern or whatever the hell ‘post’ we’ve all settled on.

Here’s the promo flier for their tour, click on it to head to their myspace. I will work on a review with pics and sound if all goes according to plan.
