Friday April 8 - El Mocambo
Another Blue Door opens itself widely to influences as far reaching as Pavement, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen, at times "rocking out" and at other times "folking out," quite often within the same song.
Three Imaginary Girls
it all sounds so damn original, not just another sampling of forgotten sounds brought back to life (which isn't such a bad thing either come to think of it). Best of all, you can get back on the Canuck rock bandwagon which is yet again picking up steam.
Cosmik
A very impressive album from a band you should hear much more from. Look no further than the adorable closer "Ithaca, N.Y."
Pop Matters
Haulers is a moving album...full of mood enhancing compositions that push the needles back and forth over the course of the album. Cool intense tunes include "Nova Scotia," "Streetlight Song," "How're Things?," and "Ithaca, N.Y." Unusual and intense.
LMNOP
The sound of Another Blue Door is like Pavement shaking hands with Neil Young while The Replacements are combing their hair with Wilco watching.
Crimewaves
On Friday April 8 at the El Mocambo, Another Blue Door will be playing with Magneta Lane, The Mark Inside and The Key Concepts. Yes, Another Blue Door is a horrible band name but this group are amazing and criminally overlooked in the burgeoning Canadian independent music scene. I've watched this band grow from being pensive and enigmatic to dynamic and explosive in their live show. I am in constant amazement as to how this band has progressed. Dave Schoonderbeek wrote the songs for "Haulers" when he was 17, they're naive, stark and intense. The new material has been more of a collective effort and the bands maturity shines through.
Perhaps it's my fault this band has been overlooked, not in the local press but in the grand "scheme". They signed to a US indie, did well at college radio and somewhat continue to do so. This band is the epitomy of everything good about music.
I hope that who ever reads this, comes to the show on Friday, if you're out of town and want a copy of "Haulers" please drop me an email. I guarantee that this band will blow you away and you will become a fan.
