The Silos Bloodshot CD Release Show
Where: Iota
Date: 2007-04-21 20:00:00
Type:
After 20 years as the leader of The Silos, it would be easy for Walter Salas-Humara to sink into a creative comfort-zone, turning out likable, catchy tunes with zero edge. Not so. Come On Like The Fast Lane buzzes with rock energy reminiscent of the proto-punk lower East Side legends like The Velvet Underground and Television, punched up with pop melodies that resuscitates a sound that never went out of style. The songs on Come On Like The Fast Lane play out like minimalist short stories framed by the spacious, guitar-heavy arrangements the band is known for. Come On Like The Fast Lane opens with the Salas-Humara/Steve Wynn co-penned Behind Me Now, showcasing guileless pop guitar breaks while questioning hidden meanings with equal application in the personal and political. A bleaker view presents itself in People Are Right as Salas-Humara describes the condition of a heart that is adrift between the shores and heaven and hell. Keeping Score takes the high lonesome sound associated with soundtrack genius Ennio Morricone and infuses it with distinctively American noir elements. The Silos hit the road in March in support of this February 20th release, expect an impressive number of performances at SXSW in Austin during their North American trek this spring.

The End of Year Holidays are frequently about giving (and hopefully some receiving, too). They are a time when we remember family and friends with gifts. It's also a time when we are reminded of those less fortunate than us. In keeping with the Holiday spirit, your friendly, neighborhood Guy's Guide to Getting a Life is working with Toys for Tots to collect 200 toys for local area children. BBG is hosting a cocktail hour at the Clarendon Grill in Arlington, VA, on December 12, 2007, from 6:30 to 9:00 pm. Brian and David will speak about gifts for guys and the significance of giving.
