Live Show: Doris Delay, Kristina Boswell
and the Dazzles, Timbers Shivered.
Timbers Shivered had already begun their set of indie-jazz rock fronted by Band of the Name's JT. They are a pretty tight unit, not at all a "silly" offshoot like most BOTN off projects. Kristina Boswell and the Dazzles offered
a mix bag of female-fronted pop with acoustic guitar, bass and
drums. The trio had some pretty nice song ideas but when pop
songs go into the four to seven minute time length they lose
their appeal. Finally Doris Delay (a Ken Kasey reference?) got their shot at the audience. I must say at first I was caught off guard and ended up quite pleasantly suprised. First off, I went on their first photo shoot in August and they had four members with them. One of them was missing - the girl. There was no mention of a member missing so I think they are now a three piece: Dominick, a former co-worker of mine, on lead vocals and guitar, Nick on drums and Matthew on bass. The sound was pop. Total indie pop. They were great. Fun fun. You can't beat catchy riffs, smart and clever lyrics. Man, just adorable. Even a bit tipsy (okay a lot tipsy) Matthew still shone on bass. He's one of my favorite Orlando bassists. Doris Delay has got something worth taking notice of. Download their songs "Lollipop" (my favorite so far) and "A Day At The Park" from their webpage.

I
love shows at the Peacock Room. Mostly because of the convience.
I live in the house right behind their parking lot. There's a
hole in the fence that myself and roommates slide through. It's
lots of fun. The show tonight was Doris Delay. I knew it was
Nick and Matthew from the Radiohead-influenced quartet Franco,
who were pretty popular for the past three years or so.
The
songs seemed to get longer and tedious and I eventually lost
interest. That was too bad because it seems Kristina has all
the right ingredients to make something cool and interesting.
