So last night I went to the CD Release Party for
Chris Page's new CD
Decide to stay and swim I first discovered chris page probably about a year and a half ago, and I was really struck by his music. It's very sparse, usually he goes on stage with just his Les Paul, and a really nice amp. It's all really fast-paced, stripped-down power-pop style electric guitar playing, but with no accompaniment at all, just his very good vocals on top of it. The music begs comparison to Billy Bragg, but without all the political content.
Opening for Chris Page was the GoldenSeals, and
Andrew Vincent and the Pirates. Read more for a review of the show. Suffice it to say, you should go out
right now and buy both Chris Page's CD and AV's If you're still not convinced, check out these tracks by
