Ecstatic Sunshine of the Blown Mind

Last night, Baltimore duo Ecstatic Sunshine turned the Comet Tavern into a cathedral. Guitar melodies floated through the room, stratosphere bound. Eager minds were blown. Imaginary beats pounded under very real plucked polyrhythms. Dudes rocked unbelievably hard with only two guitars.

I missed Make Believe. Tell me it wasn’t amazing (I know it was).

Meanwhile the Cha Cha hosted its first ever show to great success. Details are a bit fuzzy, but a good time was had by all. Keep and eye out for Colin Roper (of Cobra High)’s new band, Loving Thunder (thanks, Robin). You will know them by their lethal mix of Lightning Bolt frenzy and classic rock riffage.

Ah shoot. I can't believe I missed it. I liked Freckle Wars a lot.

Ecstatic Sunshine: 2 geeks, wrists ablur, generating enough solar power in their Fender Telecasters to put the oil cartels out of business. They made a believer out of me.
