The Color Awesome’s newest friends and one of Seattle’s hardest working bands is having a CD release show this coming Thursday evening, June 24th.
I got the CD from the band and I have to say, I’m impressed that they are still relevant. The opening track of Tearing Down Paisley Garden, “Only Dreaming” is a pop gem you’ll be adding to your summer play list; the rest of it is great too. More of a mini album, Tearing Down Paisley Garden clocks in at around 30 minutes. I love shorter works like this; it makes you kind of want to listen to it over and over again! Up and coming bands take note; just because you have 80 minutes on a CD doesn’t mean you have to use it.
The Purrs have nailed it. Frankly, when I turn on the radio I want to hear something like them – not some of the crybaby indie rock which is so popular right now. The Purrs sound like whiskey, cigarettes and dive bars; they’re a perfect example of why Seattle is known as a no bullshit rock and roll town.
The Purrs are playing The Crocodile (2nd and Blanchard in Belltown) this Thursday with Brent Amaker and Battle Hymns. Listen to The Purrs here
