I saw a pretty life-changing band the other night when they opened up for Kickball at the Food Hole. It's called Typhoon, and it's like ten kids between ages 17-21 that just completely blew me away with how heartfelt and absolutely rocking they were. Everybody in the band was singing along really loud and the front-kid had a crazily confident voice and then switched over to drums and rocked just as hard. It was gorgeous stuff. I can't wait to see them again, and I hope they stick with it. Just wanted to share them with you. Listen to "rollingcredits" on their myspace site and you'll start to get the whole idea. They had a trumpet, garbage cans, a violin, two guitarists bass, and other stuff. Just listen to that Zepplin-esque drumming. It's intense.
