The Soft Pack @ The Middle East, Boston MA

If someone asked me today, at this very moment, who my favorite band is, I would say with complete confidence, “The Soft Pack” or rather, “The Muslims.” When I first heard this band, it was on something like, MySpace and they were, “The Muslims” and I liked them A LOT! Unlike some people, their name didn’t bother me, since it’s a band, not a corporation, and I guess, I’m educated and not a racist (refer to NME article). Certainly, I’m not an expert when it comes to music either, nor the history of, but I can tell you this, I just love the deadpan vocals of Matt Lamkin, Brian Hill’s leg-shaking, arm-waving drums, Mr. McLoughlin’s gutty guitar and the easy-going delivery of bass guitarist Dave Lantzman!

So…why am I sharing all of this with you? BECAUSE…I am going to see, The Soft Pack this Saturday, at The Middle East in Boston!! I cannot express adequately how excited I am, I can only hope to capture my exuberance on film, or rather, in pixels…and post about it after. My camera is broken, but hopefully I will make due, and get something up here that is visible. So stay tuned for more to come on The Muslims, I mean, The Soft Pack…whatever…
