crusty noise compliments of The Mae Shi

I'm going to be honest, under normal circumstances I don't get giddy to see bands. But, for the last couple weeks I've had a boner for this little noise rock band from SoCal called The Mae Shi. I heard of them sorta late in '08, but no one really cares who found out about a band first anymore. So I've been playing them non stop on Rhapsody over and over and over...I can't believe how good they are. Very ...Trail of Deadish noise rock, maybe even Cold War Kidsish (but thats a bit of a stretch) Mates of State also come to mind. It's really hard to describe an opinion of music in words, well it is for me because i'm not very articulate. But who cares, I'll ramble until you get the point so one way or another you'll come to the same conclustion. The Mae Shi rock. The brought one of those parachutes with them and opened it up over the crowd at Popscene. You know the very same parachute you played with in 2nd grade, the one that gave you nightmares of carnies and clowns...Damn you Mrs. Tobin, it was even worse that my 2nd grade teacher was a midget...er uh horizontally challenged. So The Mae Shi were amazing live...go see them when you can...listen to them right now and here:
