Twister Rock Show @ McGann's - July 22nd!

Courtesy of F Nice Records... one night... four great bands... don't miss it!

Friday July 22nd: a twister (metaphorical, we hope) blows through McGann's, bringing in some hot local and not-so-local acts.

Leading off is Sapphire Sun, a Boston-based blues/hard rock trio with an ominous and unsettlingly melodic sound. Tool, Morphine, Nine Inch Nails, Jane's Addiction all come to mind - they are definitely worth coming out for.

Sylvana Joyce and the Moment plays second. This NYC-based group plays self-described "gypsy-blues"; they expertly blend world music, rock, soul, folk, punk... far too many genres to list. The music is classically influenced, intricate, and artfully composed and arranged. And quite catchy - take a listen before heading down.

Up third is Gypsy West, a prog/psychedelic trio, also hailing from the NYC-area. These guys pack a punch - big choruses, big solos, big shifts in dynamics - singer Alex Giorgetti's voice out front is especially powerful. Check out their Myspace and prepare yourself for what's sure to be an epic performance.

And last but without a doubt not least, we've got Torpedo Rodeo. This Burlington, VT - based three piece plays a potent brand of surf rock. I recommend the blue-sy, Dick Dale-sy, cleverly titled "Don't Give That Guy Whiskey," available to stream from their Myspace. I'm sure these guys will kill it live.

Torpedo Rodeo : 11:45 - ?
Gypsy West : 10:45 - 11:30
Sylvana Joyce & The Moment : 9:55 - 10:30
