NO!: TESTA ROSA (#319, SEP 21 2007).


Testa Rosa

"Book About Clouds" (12.9 MB)
from Testa Rosa


Der Rathskeller
Madison, WI
September 21, 2007



Something kind of weird happened during the two opening acts, which I figure must be a result of the usual bad mixing at campus shows. Le Loup, who started things off, have an album that I just can't get into, but their set sounded much better than the record. It wasn't just that the songs they played were the better ones from it, but the sound itself was better. By contrast, Testa Rosa, whose album I like, were really ill-served by the sound of the room. Although their record doesn't sound big by any means, it's not nearly as thin as they sounded in the Rathskeller. It's probably most noticeable on this song, which has a little spoken word interlude that you may not be able to make out. More volume and more reverb next time, please!
