Playing: Friday, Sept 2 @ 7:45 pm
Not many bands can bewitch browsers with an acoustic set at Border's
Books and Music, bring fifteen thousand fans to their feet with an a cappella
rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner," at a major league baseball
game... blow the roof off the arena while opening for Aerosmith or Kid
Rock -- and also touch listeners more quietly, in the privacy of their
own homes.
Actually, only one comes to mind: MiGGs, who may even now be on their
way to perform at a farmer's market or stadium near you.
Singled out by the San Francisco Herald as "the next big thing
outta the San Francisco Bay Area," this extraordinary quartet sold
ten thousand copies of its first album with no promotion, won exposure
through promoting episodes of Fox's The OC, secured a Gibson endorsement,
and earned plaudits in Billboard, Amplifier Magazine and on popmatters.com,
starpolish.com, and loudenergy.com--all without a label backing them up.
Their soon-to-be released second album, Insomnia, will up the ante even
more. Produced by Gavin MacKillop (Goo Goo Dolls, Barenaked Ladies, Sugarcult)
and released on indie label 33rd Street Records, with a targeted street
date late in early 2005, it's a feast of intimate, honest lyrics, unforgettable
solo and harmony vocals, and music that can veer in a heartbeat from near
silence to peaks of sonic power.
The music is tight and taught; these guys can spin on a dime from a
quick 6/8 to a slamming 4/4 and give you change. The songs beat the highest
standards of modern writing, with hooks and melodies.
