Tsar are fun and catchy and impossibly irresistible. As unlikely as it is that a founding father of reggae music would wind up here, Clinton Fearon lives and walks among us in Seattle. Thousands of miles from his island home and a quantum leap from his childhood in the Jamaican countryside, Fearon's singing and guitar blend perfectly with the very talented Boogie Brown Band, resulting in a group so together it's amazing. Still making new music, still fresh and exuberant on stage, we are very lucky to have Fearon as a neighbor. I'm not sure what vigilante chicks with guns have to do with noisy pop-rock from former members of Some Velvet Sidewalk and Juned, but go see this band anyway, and make sure to arrive early to catch Hafacat.
Relationships are so complex.
Toughen up, 'cause I know what I want. You'd better make up your mind. This is music from the MTV world of manageable angst where nobody ever feels completely worthless or notices the gravitational pull of the gun store window. Future generations will curse our names and piss on our graves for many reasons. Demonstrate your intelligence to your peers and your progeny by going to see Spearhead tonight.
