Crowd Pleasers
I had the pleasure of seeing this band play many times while running the Bunkhouse a few years back. Mostly on weird off nights and to a small turnout.
But since that first show I have been a big fan of what Wilcox & company have been up to.
If you haven't caught this bands live show, you MUST go to the next show and see what I am talking about. For now though, here is some stuff to check out.
Enjoy!

The best of the really good
A Crowd of Small Adventures
The Evil Archipelago (self-released)
Another great and eclectic-sounding Vegas band screaming to be picked up by a label like, say, Merge. In spite of emo's increasingly popularity, singer/songwriter Jackson Wilcox steers his own unusual course toward song construction, and his eight-song effort in 2007 was a highlight. A song like "The Hungry Dead" is impossible to describe accurately; think dance-rock drums, spiky guitars, and (somehow) gorgeous piano and synth lines. Musically sophisticated yet very warm in its approach, The Evil Archipelago is evidence enough Wilcox is an exciting and serious talent.
