The first time I heard of Smokey Angle Shades was back in April, and I remember feeling curious and intrigued by their name. It wasn't until I found out they would be playing on this year's Rat Pack Tour that I had the opportunity to see them at a warm-up gig in Camden, and I felt instantly drawn to them as they took to the stage - with their penchant for elaborate headgear and wild country n' western vibe!
I found myself stomping away with the rest of the crowd to their melodic and catchy songs. Their sound is definitely unique but there are nods to early Beatles records, 60's California, rhythm and blues, and perhaps a dash of a Nashville hoedown! Their beautiful harmonies and rolling rhythms, combined with the obvious musical talent of the five members, make Smokey Angle Shades a very exciting band to watch, and I hope to see much more from them in the future.
