It must be mindblowingly, unfathomably strange to be a young band in 2009. Thanks to the internet, regular Joes can have a niche hit song a few weeks after it’s recorded. Now sometimes that catapults people with debatable talent into a position they shouldn’t be, resulting in horrible shows, meltdowns or any number of other problems (insert Wavves joke here?). But sometimes it just means that a good young band has a highly receptive audience.
Now, calling Women’s song “Black Rice” a hit might seem to be a little bit of a stretch, but the crowd let out waves of cheers during the opening riff. And I was glad I caught it; it’s a great song off a really good record. In fact, it made me a little sad. Their show was a ton of fun, but I wasn’t overly familiar with their album so I couldn’t enjoy each song as much as I could with “Black Rice.” But still, very good show from a band that I believe has the potential for a lot more of the same quality.
