The Indicators w/The High Score and the Fairmount Girls
Attention: Two bands on Lynn Point Records will take possession of Patrick Sullivan's Great Room to rock the house for one night only. Atlanta foursome The Indicators make the perfect kind of rock for a weekend night at the bar: rowdy, catchy, sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet. And if you're nursing a broken heart, or just life's general disappointments, their songs are bound to ease the pain. The vocals fall mostly on the side of endearing geek-rock, which makes their done-wrong songs more believable. (I'm supposed to believe a pretty boy like Rhett Miller's ever been hurt bad? Whatever.) The Indicators feel your pain and have written the perfect rock songs to help you get back on your feet. Or just make your visit to the bottom that much more enjoyable. Joining their labelmates, Knoxville's own High Score continues the night's true rock theme. Forget all that hype about rock being back. It never went anywhere. Every year is the Year of Rock where the High Score is concerned. Add to this miraculous double-bill Cincinnati's Fairmount Girls (revealing a new, more melodic four-piece line-up), and what you have is a Saturday night worth celebrating. Or crying in your beer. Or just getting over it with a little rock. (Paige M. Travis)
