all of these words make no sense.

Will I be done talking about the Owen/William Elliott Whitmore/The Snake The Cross The Crown show anytime soon? I guess I'll have to be after today. Needless to say it was an overall thoroughly impressive concert, and an early show too boot. There's something about having the sunlight cracking through the curtained windows until the headliner starts and getting home by 10 that leaves one feeling fresh. I've posted about every band on the lineup backwards, so it's saying something when the first band is as great as The Snake The Cross The Crown (or Snakes on a Cross...on a Crown, if you will).
TSTCTC, named for a band member's birthmark, was started by brothers Franklin and William Sammons and has been making southern-tinged indie rock for several years. With just an EP (Like A Moth Before A Flame)and one LP (Mander Salis) under their belt, TSTCTC has honed itself into an impressively solid outfit with a tremendous sound that translates well on stage and on record. It's been almost two years since the band's debut was released by Equal Vision Records and new material is being perfected on stage and is being recorded.
Turns out this is another brief-due-to-phenomenal-weather post, but I'm confidant that the music will stand on it's own.
An interesting side note is that I've now seen The Snake The Cross The Crown twice; both times with Owen, once with Decibully. One could not ask for better two better shows, could one?
