Friday Night in the ROC

A couple of weeks ago, when I was a few beers past asking probing questions, my friend told me we were going to the CD release party for Shelflyfe this coming Friday. As a local scene enthusiast, I didn't debate much. I do love Waterstreet Music Hall.

Later, I decided not to be an uneducated consumer and check out their MySpace page to further my grasp of what type of music I was getting myself into. First impression? Their headshots look like the emo-flip update of a Motley Crue album cover.

But, conversely, the music on their site betrayed nothing of the screamo nature that their look suggests. Rather, they have a softer tone and less-aggressive, more melodic lyrics, complete with piano parts. Interested to see how the live show goes.
