Carissa's Prom
02.24.2003
Last night's show at The Space was amazing. It was the Moped Army's 100 Member Party. Most of the gang was there, and most of us were dressed up to see The Prom.
I've been listening to The Prom's latest CD, Under the Same Stars (on Barsuk Records), quite a bit at The Space. It has a sort of Ben Folds Five sound. I was really surprised at how much more "rock" their live performance was.
The real highlight of the evening, however, was Carissa's Weird (also from Seattle). Wow! It's usually a good bet that the band's amazing when the lead singer plays a solid body Epiphone. Imagine Black Heart Procession or Monoglot on speed. It was this gentle tidal wave of sound that just overpowered. Complexity wrapped up in stark simplicity. They instantly became one of my favorite bands to ever play at The Space. They're coming back again in May; don't miss them!
