I know just enough about the band, The Cure, to know that I don't like their music. And if a band reminds me of what I think The Cure sounds like, I'm not inclined to think highly of them, either. New Roman Times is such a band. A four-piece, local group, they sang with floaty, fake British accents, to songs that all sounded the same to me. It may have also been the loudest in-store I have ever attended. There was not much of a crowd, so the noise, er, music took over the whole store. At least the bass player had interesting hair and a nice smile, and the beer line was short.
Some of the parents who brought their kids knew what to expect, volume-wise. Many of the youngsters were wearing head phones to shield them from the din. To be fair, some in the small crowd seemed to really like the band, especially the 3-5 year-
olds. I like to see kids at live shows, as they enjoy the music in such an uninhibited way, and I applaud their parents for giving them a taste beyond traditional children's music.
Peace,
