Live Review - Shaky Hands@the artistery

If facial hair is an accurate way to measure talent/indieishness of a band these guys would get an 11. Lets just say they are hairy. Either way these guys are good which is actually saying a lot. The whole two guitarists, one bassist, one drummer setup has severe consequences for most bands: simply that, they sound like most bands. However these guys manage to do what should be nearly impossible these days, and that is to take that line-up and come up with something sprite likes to refer to as "cool, crisp, and refreshing" (just wait until I actually get paid to write, hoh boy). Anyway, to make short story even shorter, the up-tempo half-the-time-happy-in-a-flaming-lips-sort-of-way band can rock and make you smile and jiggle around which is usually a good recipe for success.
