More details on the website: http://www.howdoesitfeel.co.uk Went to see The Polyphonic Spree tonight and still feel vaguely speechless. Here's the weblog entry I managed to cobble together for the site. See you Thursday! Ian June 17th: Another Monday at the Festival Hall. This time to see the Polyphonic Spree, a choral symphonic pop band from Dallas Texas, with 24 members all wearing cassocks. The album is a joyous blend of Plush, The Beach Boys and Mercury Rev, and live they're like Jesus Christ Superstar crossed with Sgt Pepper. Very odd, very beautiful, extremely spectacular, inspiring, scary, bewildering, like nothing I've ever seen before really. I'll play some on Thursday if anyone wants to hear it. I did consider dedicating the first 35 minutes of the club to the first nine songs on their album, because you really should experience this music, but I'm not sure if everyone's sanity could take it. Mine has been stretched quite a bit by tonight. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
