Brothers and Sisters. The new album is called 'Fortunately,' and it's the country-fied indie rock of your Neil Young-oriented dreams. Dislike the new My Morning Jacket? Check this out. With the increasingly cool Shapes Have Fangs and more. 9 p.m. Club DeVille, 900 Red River St. 457-0900. — J.G.
Channeling historic Topanga canyon country-folk hippies and British invasion pop quirkiness, Austin’s Brothers and Sisters release their brand new CD, Fortunately. Actually only one brother and sister, the eight-piece group have a rootsy vibe and youthful energy sure to make the seams burst at the fast-maturing Club de Ville. Opener Shapes Have Fangs rock in lo-fi black and white, like The Kinks first discovering distortion.
Beerland sends May off with a bang. Saturday, the punked-up R&B strains of the Strange Boys rule the roost alongside garage-mates Shapes Have Fangs, San Antonio sunshine-poppers Hacienda, and indie rock trio Follow That Bird! – Greg Beets
NO - that chick FLAKED out on all of us. That is what I wanted to talk about - I'll see y'all the funk rock bbq. And, I'd like to get a show together by September...ya'll KICK major ass - n stuff.
"Sharing the top of the bill is Shapes Have Fangs, an esoteric bunch of fellows who mix the occasional Beach Boys-esque breakdown with an unabashed willingness to test the bounds of influence and obscurity--by many accounts, Shapes Have Fangs is also a band not afraid to push it in concert."
