Friday Fun: The Alice Rose, the Blind Eyes, Wooden Kites, The Fear Alert

Friday I went to Lemmons to see the Alice Rose, the Blind Eyes, Wooden Kites and the Fear Alert. (The latter two were on the bill, to everyone's surprise; what happened there?) Was going to write something thoughtful, but decided to get massively ill instead. Which I am now. So here's a haiku about each band:

The Alice Rose:
Austin's version of
Jellyfish brings sweet chords and
Sweeter harmonies

The Blind Eyes:
It's about time that
The Lou has a great mod-pop
act; see Jam, Nick Lowe.

Wooden Kites:
Angsty folk-indie
With a rough-hewn edge, making
'Em Bright Eyes, but good.

The Fear Alert:
Off-key vocals and
Smashing Pumpkins aping means
It needs more practice

Dr. Mario.
