What else we were talking about that week

Braids are a buzz band. But, unlike so many bands that carry that title, any buzz you have heard regarding Braids is fully earned and well deserved. Taking the stage at Red 7 on Wednesday afternoon, Braids blended ethereal rock and roll, tasty male/female vocals, and the ability to slowly transform a song from a mellow beginning to a full on ruckus. The result was formidable, and I rest assured that this is not the last we will hear about this band.
