Asbury demolition set for April 29 | Main | Holmes has advice for the collectors
01:24 AM - Pela
I first saw Pela when they opened for Rainer Maria at Northsix couple of years ago. Their sound was huge - with hints of U2-style dramatic guitars and epic vocals, which wouldn't normally describe my sort of music, but something about Billy and the rest of the band's stage presence, along with the incredible sound at the venue, really made me fall for them very quickly. Lately the band has been doing very well for themselves, having recently played with the Flaming Lips and getting a song played on Scrubs. They've been doing a Monday night residency at the Delancey this month, and tonight marks the end of that. Pela will play at 10pm, but get there early as it's bound to get crowded. After the show, head up to the roof to celebrate with an afterparty, co-hosted by Oh My Rockness. Take a listen below and come out and see these guys in a cozy small venue before it's too late. Pela - "Lost to the Lonesome" Also this week at the Delancey: Wednesday - Man in Gray,The Song Corporation (who have been doing a Wednesday night residency this month,) the Wowz, and Flasher. And if you are curious about the picture of Pela above - I've decided that when I feature a band and want to include a picture of them, if I haven't taken a live or press photo myself, I'll just take their press shot and draw it, replacing the bandmembers with robots.
