WE DO THE MASHED POTATO AND THE FUNKY CHICKEN

Late Last Night...

Posted about 1 year ago

So, because I'm chronically unemployed, (hard times, economic recession, overall laziness, no marketable skills, take your pick), I was up last night watching TV. I tuned into Conan O' Brien, watching it all the way, pretty much bored, I can't go to sleep early because...well that's a long story. Usually the bands on Conan O' Brien, while entertaining, never really capture my attention. I don't know why, for a band to catch my attention like that, it requires a certain sound, although sometimes it takes a while for a band to really capture my attention. The band on last night was Rose Hill Drive. Sitting on the couch with a cold drink in my hand 1:30 in the morning, as soon as I heard them I realized this was different.

I liked their sound, that's the first thing I realized, it snapped, a sudden realization of the obvious, right? I put the drink down, stand up, I wanted to pay more attention to the sound. To the lyrics. For a live performance, it was good. They were really concentrated on their song. Never heard of Rose Hill Drive, but man, they're good. Their sound is reminiscent of classic rock, peppered with a little alternative, I totally enjoyed it, and figured I gotta say something about these guys, even if somebody beat me to it, it doesn't matter. Check them out here, you won't be disappointed... A final question to ya, moggers, anyone else discover bands like this?

    yep...I dig hearing of discoveries like that.

    the first time I ever heard Spoon was in a haphazard fashion one night when I caught an episode of Austin City Limits.

    it went something like: blinkblinkblink.woah!

    I'll look into Rose Hill Drive, though. thanks for the word up.
