FYM ON THE LIST: PARTY DOWN W/ LOCAL NATIVES, THE LOVE LANGUAGE, THE UNION LINE

FYM's Art Director celebrated his 27th (YEAR OF THE ROCKSTAR) birthday Friday evening in Seattle. 

The Union Line started by stunning us with Pearls featuring: melodic drama, bellowing Fred Flintstone rhythms, mixed with angelic harmonies, and church choir ambiance from sad endings to 1970's after-school specials.

The Union Line live convey a perfect balance of spontaneity mixed with serious musicianship. They are the type of band who could easily haunt any David Lynch movie soundtrack. It's unbelievable bands such as The Union Line still exist in a free floating limbo, roaming the United States unsigned to any sort of record label. They set the standard for the evening that was hard to top. 

Keeping the Showbox crowd enamored, The Love Language produced a hypnotic wall of sound. Mixing classic lush (cocktails at sunset) rhythms, with hopeful vocal hubbub. 

Duel gender vocals made songs like Summer Dust float perfectly into the sea of fans coasting along to The Love Language Friday evening. 

Stuart McLamb works best with a solid group backing him, and this team worked spot on crafting live jams off of their summer release Libraries. 

McLamb and crew left stage to a frenzy of fans wanting more tunes. It was indeed a passionate response to all the hard work they left on stage. Check out Libraries NOW.

The Local Natives closed FYM's monumental birthday evening! We were stoked when Local Natives played their formidable cover of Talking Heads Warning Signs seen below. 

The audience connected with the band in a special way last evening. The crowd formed constant waves grooving throughout the floor. All three bands showed what great things can happen when you play with a top-notch rhythm section. Local Natives seemingly always understand the dynamic of telling a story through their tunes, holding back fiery sonic triggers of love, and melody... finding strength to pull the trigger releasing this energy at just the right moment. 

Local Natives affirmed that creating elegant hooks filled with harmonies, and school yard chants combined- make for an excellent mix of sound. 

Put on their latest release Gorilla Manor HERE!

(FYM thanks The Love Language for giving us some birthday adventures we soon will not forget!)

FYM PREVIEW: LOCAL NATIVES, THE LOVE LANGUAGE AT THE SHOWBOX SEATTLE 9.24.10

FYM's Art Director could be celebrating his 27th (year of the rockstar) birthday- anywhere really. Las Vegas, Los Angeles were all nice choices, but instead FYM is stoked about the Local Natives with The Love Language, playing this Friday at the Showbox in Seattle Washington USA!

Airplanes is FYM's Publicist, Nick 'I fly way too much for my own good' Codling's, jetset jam. Check out this solid live version.

FYM also couldn't ask for a better night of sonic camaraderie. Forgive us, but we couldn't help but doing a show specific poster for The Love Language  completely in french (the language of love/took 4 years of it in college)

The Love Language compose floaty- daring-dream tunes: the perfect soundtrack for dusk til' dawn oceanside bonfires, making ghirardelli smores, while pondering smoking the rest of your stash.

KEXP Seattle's NPR recorded a great example of The Love Language hitting their prophetic shoe-gazing stride! Hit us up on TWITTER September 24, 2010 at 8PM down at the Showbox! The whole crew will be there celebrating!
