Fieldnotes 1 - Coming Soon

I'll be posting my field notes a little later than expected to be able to write about a concert this Friday (the notes will be up by noon Saturday). Monty Are I, a post-hardcore band from Cranston, RI and a band I mentioned in my original topic post, is playing this Friday at Club Hell in Providence. The band has a decent reputation in RI, they're former winners of the WBRU Rock Hunt (local music competition) and are currently working on recording a new album. I actually haven't seen a show at Club Hell yet, but from what I understand it's a smaller venue that's working to fill the void left when the Living Room shut down.

Interestingly enough, one of the ways I became aware of this show was a flier I got outside a show at Jerky's (another small venue that's been booking rock shows). The guys handing them out were actually two members of the band, but I just wasn't paying enough attention and didn't get it until my friend pointed it out as we were walking down the street.

So expect notes by noon on Saturday, hopefully with a detailed description of their guitar sharing move. (Basically each guitarist strums the strings on his own guitar but fingers the fretboard of the other's guitar... at least that's what I remember happening, though I've thought long and hard about how to do it with no avail.)
