The Islands @ soundfix 04/22/06

oh it was an early rainy cold morning for the islands on saturday. they played a great mini-set that was almost acoustic, they still plugged in the bass and the keys, but it wasnt like soundfix had a couple uprights sitting around for them, so for all purposes it was acoustic. it was a packed ass room and i was in the back doorway, but every one was so quiet you could hear every word of nick diamonds dance tinged mellow indie rock. islands are like when paul simon went to graceland, just a great worldly sound coming out of a great cast of characters, return to the sea is a great cd and itll have you saying unicorns who?
