The guitar prevailed Wednesday night during the Craft Spell's opening set Although lead vocalist (Justin Paul) visually filled the part, it was the succinct melody of the two guitars that carried the sound. The closing song "You Should've Closed the Door" was a finishing punch to lead into the Drums set.
On the Drums: The scene playing in your head of what it would be like to see Skipping Town live couldn't be further from reality. Songs were a mixture of 50's surfer rock intertwined with dark Euro (Berlin/Scandinavian) post-punk rock. The result is a performance fit for any mindset. Laying in a hammock breathing in the salty-humid morning air? Listen to We Tried. On a rampage through an alleyway in late night Edinburgh? This is because the Drums combine jabbing lyrics with happy-go-lucky melodies in a way that approaches the challenges of youthful desperation. The set list provided a range of the Drum's abilities and sounds. I guarantee if you see this show you will not be disappointed.
"Thanks Denver goodnight....oh yeah, and you can stick around because we're not going to stop playing."
