                                  Rodeo Church- 1/21/11 O’Brien’s

When I asked Rodeo Church front man Adam Young where his band calls home, he simply smiled and responded, “we walked to the show tonight.” Rodeo Church weren’t the only locals to make the snowy trek to O’Brien’s on Friday night either. As a matter of fact, it seemed as though the whole neighborhood came out to witness first-hand what all the buzz is about surrounding the Allston quartet.

O’Brien’s is a phenomenal spot to stay ahead of the game when it comes to local music. They book some great punk bands, they know what’s up when it comes to the Boston music scene, and the atmosphere in general is very informal and personable. Friday night, Rodeo Church was sandwiched on the bill between local folkateers Mornin’ Old Sport and Edward Sharpe sound-alikes The Red River. The bar hit capacity by the time Rodeo Church took the stage and they went right to work. Kicking the set off with the anthemic  “Miserable,” the band went from zero to sixty in an instant and set an energy level that was high from the start, but would only continue to grow as the set progressed.

My brother’s band’s EP came out today. If you feel so inclined, go check it out.

They are The Rodeo Church, from Boston, MA. Their music is often compared to that of [redacted,] [redacted,] and [redacted.]
ETA: My brother has requested that I not compare The Rodeo Church to other bands, because he does not want his largely unknown band to be labeled as “rip-offs” of other bands. So let it suffice to say that they are an indie rock band with playful, upbeat music, clever lyrics, and, you know, awesome sauce.

My brother, Adam Young, (no, not of Owl City,) is the lead singer and guitarist.
