Local singer and song writer Lindsay
Appel played a quaint short set at The Highland Ballroom last Friday. Her
blues/rock style is based around a piano or guitar and fits great with the
relaxed lounge atmosphere of the venue. For about a year now she has been
carrying Mario (drummer from Tiger!Tiger!) and Steve (bassist from Friend
Without a Face) to complete the band. In 2008 she won the Creative Loafing Reader’s
Choice Award for Best Singer/Songwriter. Lindsay’s voice is strong and her
lyrics fitting. The next Lindsay Appel show will be at 529 January 15 with The
Goldest and Night Driving in Small Towns.
The Electric Cycles were the
headliners for this show. Vintage gear usually means vintage sound, and that is
exactly what you get out of these guys. Their ’60s psychedelic sound is
a foot tapping noise fest. I was hit with jolt of energy that had my head bobbin’
and all I wanted was more. Look for these guys at Wonderroot February
6.
