#2 Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson

Youth Pictures Of Florence Henderson; call it post-rock with vocals if you like. Both the self-titled and their debut album Unnoticable In A Tiny City, Invisible In A Town got excellent reviews in Norway and a few other, international websites; but other than that, they've yet to receive the attention they really deserve.
Anyway, I went to shoot them yesterday (pics in my next post), playing their last gig before leaving for a mini tour in Europe to promote their second, self-titled album. Being one of my favorite post-rock bands, they have yet to disappoint at their live acts. Yesterday's show was quite as close to perfect as it can get, and - dare I say - maybe one of the best gigs I've been to in a long time. I also discovered a brand new post-rock band yesterday going under the name
Tim, Face Berlin, whom warmed up for YPOFH. They opened up by saying "vi är ett band av få ord" - "We're a band of few words"; but the music did indeed speak where words were lacking. It was the perfect opening for YPOFH, whom left the audience with all sparkly eyes already after the first song. Take a look here to see if they're playing in a city near you the coming week, I can assure you that it will be worth every penny. Also, download (some) of their music for free off their last.fm site.
