West of Eerie

About Me

New Local Act by Amy Atkins of Boise WeeklyWest of Eerie is young Adam Gates on guitar and vocals, sweet Pollyanna Hawthorne on bass and vocals, and shy Andy Davis on drums. I met Pollyanna at the Sasquatch Festival this year and she told me that she and the rest of the band have been working hard on West of Eerie.After a name change or two (one was Cellar Door) West of Eerie is ready to become part of the local music scene. Their sound is kind of raw (which could be due to the low-production value of the songs on their myspace.com site) with melancholy melodies over distorted guitar. They have an alt/indie sound that echoes late '60s rock--for some reason, the Mamas and Papas come to mind. Their music is charming and I'm definitely curious to see them live, which I (and you) will have the opportunity to do soon.July 20, 9 p.m., $2, opening for El Boxeo, The Bouquet, 1010 Main St., and July 29, 9 p.m., $3, opening for Southerly, Neurolux, 111 N. 11th St.
