UZ JSME DOMA
Thursday, June 14, 2001: I convince a friend to join me at the Middle
East Club to hear Reverend Glasseye and His Wooden Legs, one of my
favorite Boston area bands. As usual, they were fabulous, but the big
surprise that night was Uz Jsme Doma, the headliners on the bill. How
could I have never heard of this amazing band from the Czech Republic?
I was blown away by the many textures of their music, as well as their
energy and technique. I'd call them prog rock with the speed and energy
of punk, plus doses of traditional Slavic sounds, a bit of dark waltz
gloom, and other unusual flavors. You can find more reviews at their
web site, www.uzjsmedoma.com.
Feeling silly that I hadn't heard them before, I purchased several of their CDs that evening [don't forget to support your favorite underground bands by buying their merchandise at their shows! The band gets a bigger cut of the sale price when you buy directly from them.] I picked out three CDs: In the Middle of Words, Hollywood, and their latest, Ears. They're all wonderful recordings, and they played songs from each of these CDs at the concert. Go see Uz Jsme Doma! They're touring North America through 7/15/01 -- click here for tour dates.
