Old residence... made fresh

I went and saw a show the other night at The Starline, Fresno CA, and by far the best presentation was put forth by a band called, From Indian Lakes. I used to live in Indian Lakes, which is a small mountain housing community in the Sierra Nevada foothills, so naturally I was drawn to this band when I heard the name. Some of the band lives/lived in Indian Lakes. I have been wanting to see them play for quite sometime because I am somewhat of an aquaintance with Joey Vannucchi (lead vocals/guitar) and have been wanting to see them live. Their recordings don't even compare to seeing them live. It is hard to pin down a specfic genre for this band but they have a very attractive style. They use a lot of , what seems to be, a short delay effect on their guitars so there is a feeling of calm, distantness in the tones and an open airy feeling. They also use a lot of breaks and odd time signatures which contribute to their original style. If you get the chance to see them live ...don't miss it.
