Texas is still the reason...
Lift to Experience are a
band from Denton, Texas
that act as an uncanny
cross between Jon Wayne
(see their obscure 7" on
the mysterious Dental Records)
and Medicine, two groups
that are loosely related to
BloodLust! The band played
an extremely high volume
show at the Prodigal Son
(come for the grilled cheese
sandwiches, stay for the
band) on Friday night,
opening up with "a little
cover version that we have
been playing on this tour"
- namely "Kashmir." The band
is not at all precious, as their
Cocteau Twins connection
might suggest. The wall of
sound was aided by a battery
of old effect pedals, and a
guitar that ran through a
rotating Leslie cabinet. Nice!
The highest highs and the
lowest lows. AMAZING.
