Despite a subdued audience, they played a bunch of new material and showed a lot of maturation since the last time I saw them. Considering this band was formed as a joke in Chapel Hill, they have come a long way to create a decent album and an enjoyable live act.<\/p>\n<p>But I must say <b>Sam Champion<\/b> stole the show tonight, From the 1st song they came out with intense energy and never stopped. There Pavement-y songs are much better live and I&#8217;m really surprised  how much better they have gotten from last year. Considering no one in the band is over 27, Sam Champion has a prosperous road ahead of them.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/doublehalo.com\/pictures2006\/BigSleep_Comas_SamChampion.html\" target=\"_blank\">Pictures from the show.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Links:<br \/>\n<a HREF=\"http:\/\/thebigsleep.net\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/thebigsleep.net<\/a><br \/>\n<a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.thecomas.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.thecomas.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.samchampionband.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.samchampionband.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three great local bands for 10 bux.
