The Wrens - Rocking Out

Posted over 4 years ago
Not sure how much of a serious "last show" this really was, but indie rock vets The Wrens played Emo's in Austin on July 21 and referred to it as their "graduation" at the end of 4 years of touring off of "The Meadowlands." They seemed to be having too much fun to convince me they actually plan to stop playing, but I figured I better catch it just in case. Bassist/singer Kevin Whelan must be one of the most enthusiastic rockers in the biz, and helps the band take their solid songs to a truly epic level live. They're sort of one of those groups that don't seem to be doing anything that unusual or fancy, but still generate an amazing power in the process.So if that was really it, I'm glad I was there. But I'd be more glad if that's not really it.

    1234chainsaw says I guess they really did get 4 years of touring out of that record. That requires some unflagging enthusiasm! The show I saw in maybe 2004 was really good, too. So what now, back to miserable day jobs for another 8 years to barrel up enough creative energy for writing another record?
