Four years is a VERY long time to have a band together and not have put out a CD (in recent times at least). And if you've witnessed Sidewalk Driver's live show (complete with costume changes, glitter, smoke machines, fake eyelashes and MORE) you've wanted to take some SD home with you. So it was with great anticipation and total dread that I approached listening to our press copy of their DEBUT CD, For All the Boys & Girls. Dread, because I was worried that this would not live up to the live renditions of the songs that I often find myself humming days after seeing a show. After a week of the new record being on repeat at HQ I can say that it is totally awesome. The songs, hooks, and performances are incredibly strong and this debut will make a big splash.
The CD Release party is Saturday, October 3rd at TT The Bears.
The bill is awesome:
8:30 pm J.C. McKitterick (acoustic set by Tad's brother)
9:00 pm The Motion Sick
9:55 pm Aloud
10:50 pm Sidewalk Driver
12:00 am John Powhida International Airport
Rumor is that there will be some cross-band duetting and many surprises. You will be kicking yourself if you miss this.
$10 / 18+ / Facebook invite
Sidewalk Driver was also on Boston Emissions on WZLX last week (09/27/09), and their interview is fairly hilarious - check out the podcast here.
