On David Bash's keen recommendation, I went to go see The Waking Hours, of whom 4/5 are on tour. Even with their 2nd guitarist on drums (nice job!), these guys showed just how edgy power pop can be. Good show, taken just over the edge at the end for a rousing Pete Townshendish finale. Thrash-pop. I love it! If they are in your town (Boulder tonite), and SXSW on thurs, go see 'em!!! Killer 1rst track on their CD: Sunshine.... yo -mike wiz
