The XYZ Affair @ Union Hall, 8.22.07



The best unsigned band isn't unsigned for a lack of being concert-savvy. These young, up and coming chaps deserve the small stir that they are making in the indie under-underground. They impress via your stereo and their stereo both, with their excellent debut album, A Few More Published Studies, and a solid live presence. It's obvious they're young in the game. I mean, everything wasn't waxed and sanded to perfection -but that's forgivable since it's live. They often sang small barbershop-esque lullabies to usher in tunes which is definitely original. Check 'em!

The album is called "A Few More Published Studies"! But I agree, they were great at Union Hall.

just to point out without sounding nitpicky...the show was ostensibly on August 22nd, not September 22nd.

but it was a great show, I agree. Their website says they're playing at Bowery Ballroom in a few weeks. should be sweet...

Yes, yes it ostensibly was. Any more errors?
