Exit Strategy @ Mohawk Place, 12/27
To quote a friend's livejournal, "Dear Brother, as I repeat one more time, Whitesnake is not Christmas music!" While not precisely that level of sonic terrorism, < ahreef="http://www.myspace.com/theexitstrategy">The Exit Strategy is definitely for those who prefer their holidays rock-flavored. Using your standard four part rock structure are Steven J. Kabza on guitar, Mark Costantino on vocals, Tony Flaminio on bass, and Tim Turcott on drums. But the boys from Exit Strategy are anything but standard. Genuinely talented, they prefer a "sonic ass-thumping" to your typical shoegazer stock in trade, using thier music to create that wall of sound style that leaves you standing against the back wall of the club, nodding your head with a hand in the pocket, genuinely grateful your'e wearing a leather jacket to protect you. Catch a track or two at their myspace page and see what I mean. Exit Strategy plays Thursday night at the Mohawk with Sonorous Gale, Monolith, & Geography in an evening guaranteed to help you shake your brother off once and for all.
