Deastro, Max Tundra, Mystery Roar at Great Scott

Mystery Roar were a bit too sexy for me.

Max Tundra had more enthusiasm during that one performance than I've ever had in my entire life.

Deastro played 4 or 5 new songs. Then shit broke. Then they played 4 or 5 old songs. Then 1 more new song about falling in love with a vampire. And it was all awesome.

Deastro - Dead Kids EP (self released, 2009)

Deastro - Frozen Sound #7


Bright and shiny songs that are like a sun happy mix of M83, U2, and The Postal Service. The stuff is just full of so much energy and optimism without being drippy or disgustingly over the top, it's impossible not to love.

P.S. I really like this record. Like, a lot. And even though it's not quite as orgasmic as his other releases, I Haiku Reviewed it instead of other Deastro records because it's a free download. You should definitely make an effort to check out stuff like Moondagger and Keeper's because they're amazingly awesome and I personally like them more than Orange Swimmer.
