Watched Division Day for their record release party and Mae Shi.

Here is how OC Weekly viewed them, “Division Day. Were. Awesome. So awesome, in fact, that they could be considered awesome awesome, deserving of far better praise than this meager college rock fan… could ever dish… I dug Division Day the most for unabashedly mixing my favorite things—a preference for Dismemberment Plan-style awk-rawk over the too-obvious Moving Units post-punk-white-boy funk, soft vocals from a dude who can actually sing, (and) a drummer who looks like Dennis Wilson (pre-alcoholic downfall) and plays like him too (if Dennis Wilson were a robot with precision timing)…”

I thought they sucked but i have been promised the album is much better and i have to say some of it is ok. Listen to it on their myspace page here.

Mea Shi is from los angeles and you kind of get the sense that things are not loud enough for them. it was a loud and live (like real people jumping on the stage) show. good job. check out the single ‘run to your grave’ on their myspace page here.

on to Datarock tonight.
