sub_dividedEarly Steel Train, for Yin:
Steel Train - For You My Dear
Picked up completely at random in high school, when I was behind the curve and didn't understand mp3s or filesharing or CD-Rs or any of that social listen-before-you-buy stuff. There are only six tracks on the CD, I didn't think very much of them at the time...actually, I still don't think very much of them: dopey, rambly vocals over a guitar that is too technical for pop. Not bad though. They sound like a band with potential.
Q: Have they improved?
A: I don't know, I haven't listened to the CD yet. But I went with Yin to see The Cab and The Hush Sound yesterday, and Steel Train turned out to be a support band (with Morning Light). Overcome by the novelty of actually knowing something about one of the opening bands, I bought their latest. So, we'll see.
Anyway I thought I'd put this up since Yin and I were talking to the band (it was mostly her talking though) and when I mentioned that I had this CD, Jack (I think it was Jack?) commented that the sound was completely different, I unthinkingly said it was better, and there was a brief awkward pause. XD;
No other real comments on the show, except that $15 for four bands in a small venue on my way home from work is not bad at all. Next time I'll be sure not to lock my keys in the car omg wtf SO HOPELESS WRY ;_;.
Tiredddddddd. Note to self, no matter how thirsty, don't drink a quart of Powerade after midnight.
