The big sound of <strong>The Big Sleep<\/strong> would finally get a bigger stage. They came out pretty strong playing some of my favorite songs but very few new ones. Although I\u2019m eager to hear some new material, it\u2019s always great to experience this band live. I felt the sound wasn\u2019t perfect at Bowery, and as usual the vocals suffered the most. Regardless, they added more fans to their base. Congratulations on the birth of the twins.<\/p>\n<p>The crowd was anxious for <strong>The Thermals<\/strong>, and I couldn\u2019t blame them. Their new album was really good and they have developed their sound into a slightly new direction. And the songs \u201cPillar of Salt\u201d and \u201cHere\u2019s Your Future\u201d was a recurring anthem for me the previous year.  The band was pure energy, playing one song right after another. They never took a break, and either did the crowd. The fans were moving, dancing, singing to every song and really elevated the show. Although I felt the set of songs became a bit monotonous, they would sprinkle in some of their more guitar catchy ones to maintain the momentum. The lead singer and bassist constantly moved around the stage and kathy\u2019s hair was always bopping back and forth to the songs. It was a genuine fun night and the Thermals made sure of that.<br \/>\nLinks:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/doublehalo.com\/pictures2007\/Thermals.html\">Pictures from the show<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thebigsleep.net\/\">http:\/\/thebigsleep.net\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thethermals.com\/\">http:\/\/www.thethermals.com\/<\/a><br \/>\nPillar of salt <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thethermals.com\/video\/pillar_of_salt.mov\">video <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This show sold out pretty quickly.
