\nIsis\u2019 live offerings tend heavily toward singer-songwriter, Americana and similarly acoustified twang; this is a notable exception. Deltaphonic combines styles from across the musical spectrum, with soul, funk and r&b figuring into the band\u2019s nominally rock \u2018n\u2019 roll framework. Solid harmonies and smooth melodies remind me a bit of a Mississippi Delta answer to Hootie and the Blowfish.<\/p>\n
Things are back to normal, but it\u2019s a new normal. Live music has indeed returned, but if you go, plan on wearing a mask, showing proof of vaccination or negative […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21530,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3505,44,46,51,62],"tags":[4076,4634,2896,4635,948,4080,1625,1692,4636,4092,4633],"class_list":["post-21529","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dance","category-live-shows","category-metal","category-pop","category-rawk","tag-30-days-out","tag-avatar","tag-connells","tag-deltaphonics","tag-grey-eagle","tag-isis-music-hall","tag-orange-peel","tag-peter-holsapple","tag-rabbit-rabbit","tag-rich-nelson","tag-sylvan-esso","cat-3505-id","cat-44-id","cat-46-id","cat-51-id","cat-62-id","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21529","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21529"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21529\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21534,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21529\/revisions\/21534"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21530"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21529"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21529"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/30do_avatar.jpg\"){kind=avatar}

\nSure, the evil-clown makeup is over the top, but one should expect nothing less from purveyors of Scandinavian death\/industrial metal. The harsh vocal approach is certainly one ingredient on Avatar\u2019s bag of tricks, but they have others. However heavy you think they might be, they\u2019re heavier. It\u2019s gonna get loud; bring your earplugs. Magic Sword and Tallah open. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/30do_sylvan_esso.jpg\")

\nAmelia Meath and Nick Sanborn are Sylvan Esso, a minimalist electronic pop due from Durham. Their glitchy pop will appeal to fans of Tune-Yards and Tennis. The music strikes me as being heavily influenced by \u201890s downtempo chillwave and EDM. At press time, the band\u2019s web site marked this show as sold out, but tickets do seem to still be available at the link above. Samia opens. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/30do_connells.jpg\")

\nDate<\/b>: Friday, Sep. 24, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $22
\nIf you were into indie\/college rock in the \u201880s and early \u201890s, your playlist will have included Southern bands like R.E.M., The dB\u2019s, Let\u2019s Active\u2026 and The Connells. The latter is the only among those still making music; their upcoming album will be the band\u2019s first in some 20 years. \u201cCarry My Picture,\u201d \u201cSomething to Say\u201d and \u201c\u201974-\u201975\u201d are all classics. The opening act is musical royalty: Peter Holspapple (The dB\u2019s, R.E.M. and Continental Drifters, as well as a solo artist of note). And<\/i> while it\u2019s a separately-ticketed event, earlier in the evening at the Grey Eagle, The Rich Nelson Band will play a set. The Western NC-based band make superbly crafted melodic rock, and their latest album is something special.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
