Event : The Melanaster Band with Mobley and If You Wannas! 03.13.10 Asheville NC
Saturday, March 13th, join The Melanaster Band, If You Wannas, and Austin-based rockers Mobley for what promises to be an unforgettable night of killer music. I’ll let these bands speak for themselves (press below), but suffice to say we’re very excited to be sharing the stage with these two crews.
Essential info : Club 828 at 64 N Carter St, 9PM | $8. Facebook Event.
Special note : Mobley features a remarkably creative interactive music video on their website. Check it out!
MOBLEY
Originally founded in North Carolina by lead singer and songwriter Anthony Watkins II and later joined by bassist Tim Shelburne Jr., Mobley took its current shape during the summer of 2008. A cross-country move and 7 months of practice and preparation later, they’re hard at work trying to prove themselves as one of Austin’s most promising young bands.The songs draw from a wealth of influences, often tied together with only as much thread as is necessary for coherence. What results is a repetoire that, by virtue of its diversity, truly transports the listener. Nowhere is this fact more clear than when you see the band live. It’s a set comprised of contrasting moods and moments: an anthemic blitz of guitars and wired synths; a falsetto croon slinking out over drum-bass groove straight out of ‘73; a music box lullaby bursting into chamber pop or keening alt-country or glitzy dance rock. All of these sounds are complimented by a stunning video/light component and performed by musicians that command the stage with a presence that belies their youth and a vigor that proves it.
Infectiously energetic, meticulous in their passion, and unmistakably honest, Mobley has crafted a distinctive brand of indie rock that is smart, catchy, and melodic. Give them a listen… you’re likely to agree.
IF YOU WANNAS
When listening to the If You Wannas, the most immediately noticeable thing isn’t what they do well, but how they manage to click all cylinders at once. This band is a tight rock ‘n’ roll machine which takes its nods from both Fugazi and My Morning Jacket, the rhythm section of Trevor Stoia and Jacob Baumann create a level of tension and terseness that simultaneously grates against and gels with guitarists Ryan Cox and Gavin Conner’s laconic country infused strum and whine. It’s a cacophony that you can sing and dance along with, and it’s all by design.“We go for hooks,” says Cox. “I try to write what I would want to listen to, and that’s a three-minute-long song. We want people to go home and remember something on the way home.”
