The Crystal Stilts, live at Maxwell's (Hoboken, NJ) - 3/27/10
Another goodie, from the 'live music' folder! This is the live show that we took away from seeing The Crystal Stilts when they opened for Love Is All at Maxwell's in NJ this past month. Maxwell's is fast becoming our favorite place to see a band, and our favorite city (Hoboken) to hang around while we're waiting. NYC is great; but we don't mind a little bit of slow-down in the pace of things when we can get it for a leisurely and fun weekend out!
For this show, The Crystal Stilts pulled out their live best. Honestly, we can't help in being swayed toward the fact that Brad Hargett's vocals are slickly similar to the suave depth of a certain Morrison's, but; we'll give the real reward here to keyboardist Kyle Forester who never fails to disappoint us with his furious keyboard skills, funny antics, and in-between song banter on stage! In recent news, the group has also announced that they have finished recording their next album with David Feck (Comet Gain) and that it is to be named, "Cinema Red & Blue". The new album is up for a late-Spring release date (so far). See The Crystal Stilts live in NY when they play The Bell House on April 22nd, and again at Glasslands on May 15, 2010.
