My mother has always told me that I fall in love too quickly or that I give to much credit too soon to a person that might just be subpar, at best. She says I see the potential, but not the person, in fact, sometimes I can be naive.
Well, I do love Mom, and she’s seen those highs and lows, and however much I may deny the above transgressions in life, I will wholeheartedly admit I do them in music. But in music, I’m almost always right about the potential partner.
Intro the latest band in my love affair that is indie music. We were introduced by a mutual friend who told me to give it a shot because beyond their own distinct sound, there’s a hint of Depeche Mode-ishness in there too, which he knew was my type. I’m not much of a dater, but I said hey, maybe I’ll just have a drink with The Futura Bold and see where it goes.
Well, clearly it went and now I’m committed to see them tonight at The Star Bar. The Futura Bold came together in 2005 and is comprised of James Hall, long time music veteran and Katrina transplant, Chris Piskun and Bruce Butkovich and they released an album back in 2010. After having sat and listened track by track to their stuff, I can only say that I’m pretty sure that between the hazy Star Bar atmosphere and the depth of their musical talent, I’ll probably fall even more head over heels.
They play tonight @ 9:30 with notable Atlanta band Today the Moon, Tomorrow the Sun and I Was Totally Destroying It from Chapel Hill.
I may have a spotty dating history, but I’m pretty sure when it comes to The Futura Bold, our future is very bright.
