French Miami in Wiretap Music
1 February, 2008 - 16:57 — lydia
Check out the review of French Miami's show with our friends Excuses for Skipping and Parker Street Cinema in WireTapMusic:
"While the opener could have just as easily headlined the night, French Miami was more than up to the task of following Excuses for Skipping onstage. The three-piece’s sometimes minimal, sometimes massive, but always intriguing take on indie rock is just damned good. They opened, for instance, with “All On Fire,” a song with a guitar intro that is one of the tightest and most effective riffs I’ve heard in a long time.
French Miami’s sound is full of big burping keyboard bass, adroit guitar riffs, and urgent drum beats. Watching them, you could plainly see that singer Jason Heiselmann was feeling his band’s music. At one point when he wasn’t playing his guitar or his keyboards he was doing a dance that looked like he was bent over double, maybe in pain, and the look on his face was totally hurts so good. It’s perhaps trite to say of a three-piece band, but French Miami make an awfully big noise for only three dudes. They put on a damned fine show of undeniably compelling and intense indie rock."
If that sounds good to you, be sure to check out their show on Saturday at the Geat American Music Hall or visit their myspace to see upcoming dates.
