Oh snap…we’re back! No, we wont apologize for being gone. But we’re sorry….all 10 people who read us regularly were apparently on the verge of caring! OH NO! Well, it matters not now. We have returned, and we are starting with a little piece of awesome.
You probably didn’t get a chance to read our mammoth interview with Chris Robley a few months ago…which is too bad. Dude was way cool, and Dan got a special gold star of aptitudes for finding that group. Turns out Dan needs to be given the special Sash of Wonder too…because he found another band with Chris Robley doing some fine, fine songstering. This group is called “The Sort Ofs” and their sound is really cool.
The Sort Ofs are a group comprised of Chris Robley on vocals (and writing) and John Stewart (not that one) on the drums/all things percussion. The rest of the group is comprised of Portland musicians who have a fine dandy time being awesome.
Listen for some of the interesting chord progressions again! Especially when you get into the chorus. this particular song throws some curve balls. LISTEN to it…pay attention and you will see what we mean. Beyond the interesting chords, The Sort Ofs are not nearly as creative with their instruments as Chris Robley was with his other groups. But that’s OK, as The Sort Ofs are aiming for a more mainstream group. It’s certainly fun to listen to. Enjoy!
