The Givers Gave It At Sasquatch 2011!

Post Show Rating - 4 out of 4

These kids are amazing. Their energy is palpable and you can't help but tap your foot and bounce around to their tunes. This was fan-shot at Sasquatch and it only mildly embodies their spirit but takes me back at least. The chick drummer/vocalist is so pretty and perky and that was all I was really expecting but they did a great job of showcasing her vocals as well. The lead's energy is also incredibly engaging and they make you feel like you're just a guest at their really awesome backyard party. Probably in my Top 5 shows of the weekend. Can't wait to catch them again soon. They've got "it" (for whatever that's worth) and are sure to be making big strides soon.

Remember to Remember...

This blog is just a personal exploration of music and represents my preference and perspective (for whatever, if anything, that's worth). The site is dubbed "Idyl Time" because I soon realized that a large majority of my "idle" time is spent on music and who doesn't love a good play on words? I stumbled on the definition of "idyl" in a book I was reading and thought it worked as a title for this endeavor because each piece of music I'm examining here is a composition (be it not necessarily pastoral). But, when you discover a connection with a song, an album, an artist or a show it can truly border on an inconsequential affair; in that... it tugs on the very strings of your heart and can pinch you ever so lightly (or painfully) in the most secret of places. Music can transport you in an instant to a person, place or memory that still holds a dear (or dark) place in your heart. It's something so private and so personal and so inherently unique to each listener. It's a relationship that obviously has no tangible relevance on your day to day existence but at the same time can represent a "romantic affair" or attachment of some sort. I've personally always attempted to operate with a hap-hazard, caution-to-the-wind, attitude towards life and all it's offerings for experience. Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all (which beyond relationships, can refer to all the windows and doors that life affords you). I guess my point is, you may have tried, you may have failed, you may have loved, you may have lost, but you took a chance. And you still have your memories and the music they're dressed in. For whatever that's worth.
