01:12 AM - The XYZ Affair (tonight at Union Hall)
The XYZ Affair are a local band who've been picking up a considerable amount of steam in the past 6 months, playing to bigger and bigger local crowds, with tours and more of a national presence likely on the horizon. Last time I saw them (in August at Union Hall with Via Audio) the show was packed but their anthemic pop wonder found its way to the back of the room, where you could practically hear singer Alex Feder smiling, even if you couldn't always see him through the crowd. The XYZ Affair - "The Professional" The XYZ Affair's over-the-top dramatic super sweet pop would have fit nicely on a bill with the sorely missed Polyvinyl no-bass threesome, Volcano, I'm Still Excited! but obviously it's a few years too late for that to happen. Instead, catch XYZ tonight at Union Hall with Sport of Kings (their singer is named R. Kelly and they play indie yacht rock) and Solid Bunny (bunnies are cute and bouncy and sometimes vicious, apparently so is this band). You've already seen the awesome video for "All My Friends," right? p.s. Comments are dead and not coming back (thanks, spambots, again) so if you want to tell me something, use email or something.
