this is from philadelphia in the end of october 2003... when they played with brand new, hot rod circuit and orange island. "By 8:00 p.m., the next band, Eisley, was on stage and ready to go. I don't think anyone knew what he/she was in for. Composed of three sisters -- Chauntelle, Sherrie, and Stacy DuPree -- one brother/drummer, Weston, and friend/bassist Jonathan Wilson, Eisley filled the Trocadero with a shimmering blend of jangly guitar, ambient keyboard, and ethereal harmonies. Standing in stark contrast to the previous band and the two still ahead of them, this group of Texas natives played a short set of unabashed pop. All three sisters sang like angels. They even had blond hair that sparkled in the bright lights. Their simple Coldplay-inspired melodies and intricate harmonies charmed the audience and drew enthusiastic applause -- applause that a bunch of punk and emo kids were not expecting to volunteer. But as Eisley thanked us profusely for coming and listening, we all realized that this band wasn't on the bill because they fit in with the others. Eisley toured with Brand New because the kids in the band are exceedingly talented and dedicated to their music. That we all got that makes me feel good. " http://www.popmatters.com/music/concerts/b/brand-new-031031.shtml it was just nice to read that after all the jabs that music journalists seem to be throwing at eisley lately. _________________ lovesick on a sunny afternoon leave those bees alone! |
