lukrecia 22 Posted November 20, 2010 dry river string OHP CONTRAREDE Tokyo’s Dry River String opened the evenings show. The band, a four piece live, lived up to all the Kings of Convenience-ness I expected from them - they used only guitars, a keyboard, minimal percussion and a toy piano to play hushed folk music. The group’s lead off with their speediest song, the cloudy-day stroll “An Able Politician Saves Oil?? and Dry River String only became more laid back as their set went on. Some of the songs veered dangerously close to coffee house open mice night, but the addition of keyboard added enough kick to keep things going steady. Despite playing pleasantly enough, Dry River Sting sounded like a band better suited for home listening (a fact I am confirming at this moment) than an act to seek out live. Much like how I think Kings of Convenience would be actually, so they really are doing a good job gaining inspiration from them. Props to the cute frog shaker, though. bztQseKzaII (2010.12.08) dry river string - Quiet 01. Silent, Truth 02. In, Out, Black 03. The Ones 04. Nasty 05. To Rise, Went High 06. Trojan Horse 07.
