The Organ w/ The Roamers - Thu., June 17, KINGSTON

[skelter]

Rock Crew is very proud to present Canadian buzzsters The Organ, a 5 piece all-female group drawing comparisons to The Smiths & Pat Benatar.

Read the great review they got from Chart Magazine for the bands' NXNE showcase on Saturday http://www.chartattack.com/DAMN/2004/06/1433.cfm

Opening up is The Roamers, an excellent young Kingston band drawing comparisions to The Strokes and Pavement. They just released their second CD.

I was reviewing NXNE and saw 9 bands, mostly female singer/songrwiters. The Organ was by far the worst of the lot. Bland, one-chord 80's pop. Though their anti-antics on stage could be classified as "cool" to some, it was boring as hell to me.

If you're looking for some 80's music 20 yrs later, this is surely something for you. But for in terms of something new to hit the scene, i'm surprised at a lot of people for latching onto this band. ah, what nostalgia veils.....
