The truth is, music still serves its purpose. A single pulse, an interweaving melody, a rhythm, a collective reasoning, giving us all, nurishment for our intellect. I can't tell you why it exist, but we all seem to have our need, desire and understanding for the beauty of song and melody and what they give us and how they move us. A most beautiful quest was experienced on August 28. 2012 at Eddie's Attic when we ran into the pleasurable delight of Faye Webster, Von Grey and the mighty JoyScout. Words alone, cannot justify the morsels of delight and fancy found in the music by these artists on this special night.

The night was full of pleasant surprises, ranging from seeing friends that havent been seen in a while, to hip guys and sexy girls, to a "furry" cat and a guy with a mouth mask walking around with the cat. We find music just as surprising, starting with the drive and swing of Cinemechanica's alt-rock, to the driving fast Japenese headliners called Melt-Banana who we realize later were the "furry" cat and her guy. And although we were mesmerized by the headliners, our spotlight shone that night on the delight of AkuYou's experimental/noise performance.

Not too long ago, I heard a quote attributed to Carl Sagan about how as humans, we seem to have this need to attach a significance to everything that happens in our lives.  The wonderful thing about Americana is that musicians take these insignificant moments of our lives, weave them together, and before long you have the melody of a lifetime.  Described as “modern retro-billy,” The Serenaders exemplify Americana.  They shine a light on these insignificant moments, and reveal glimpses of the gears that make our world go around.
