The PA System: Vodcast: Motion City Soundtrack

Posted: August 6, 2008

Spokane7 music writer Isamu (Som) Jordan interviews Matt Taylor, bassist in Motion City Soundtrack. Contains live show footage from Thursday, July 17, 2008. MCS had the kids singing and dancing in a nearly-full Knitting Factory Concert House. The indie-pop-punk party rockers played a mix of older and new tunes and the crowd was eating out of lead singer Justin Pierre’s hands, even when he forgot the words. The "Listen In Your Browser" streaming audio is an excerpt of the live set.

The PA System: Vodcast: The Kings Royal

Posted: July 29, 2008

The Kings Royal is a new indie band that features members of Candle Box and former members of Pearl Jam. There is a serious vibe from The Doors going on here, especially on Royal’s first full-length self-release, "Beginning," which is available exclusively on iTunes. Currently on the road with Candle Box, The Kings Royal broke in a new keyboardist at this Knitting Factory with no rehearsal and the set went off without a hitch. The Kings Royal skipped the spacey synth work and psychedelic meanders from the album and stuck with the rockers in the live show, promising to show the band’s true colors next time out on the road. --Isamu Jordan
