New Monsoon | 04.11.09 | S.F.

I'm so glad these guys are back on the road again. Is it me or does the guitar playing sound a bit like Dickey Betts? It's got that soul to it ya know.

Do yourselves a favor and check out AllofaSudden.

sick....hopefully they will play some more local shows this summer!

Yeah PooDolla, Jeff's deff got that southern twang...

I can't believe New Monsoon played "There's No Way Out Of Here"! I loved Gilmour's first solo album and was kind of disappointed that he didn't play anything from it or "About Face" on his "On An Island" tour. I wish I'd stayed 'til the end.

I second the badassness of the "There's No Way Out of Here" cover, big time. New Monsoon used to be just pretty cool in my book, but I saw them 6 months or so ago, and they have grown by leaps and bounds. The show was incredible, from end to end, awesome songs, tight jams, killer improv.

They are now a "not to be missed" band for me.

Haven't gotten a chance to see one of my fave acts in a while - can't wait to get that show and check out "Next Best Thing" and "Black Wing".

I'd like to see Phil's keys up front a bit more, but it feels like he is stymied by Miller's eagerness for the spotlight. Lots of guitar players are good but what makes them great is their ability to listen and not play at certain moments. That said, I love this band and had a great time in Seattle for 2 shows recently. Go see them!

These guys are so special to me. Its that blue sound of nature and atmosphere colliding between earth and sky. Great article. I wish I could of made it down for this. LONG LIVE NEW MONSOON!!

These guys are really frigin good. The East Coast needs some love!! How bout it Jeff, come back to Pittsburgh!

^^^ wow great hype guys

hopefully ill catch the waka set

havnt seen them sice a ten person show years ago

Just saw these guys play at Old Settlers, got some really great video, and jonsie on lights has been killin it for these guys!!! They were supposed to stopat midnight and threw ir down until 12:45! Great pics and review!

It's good to see them still rockin' after all the changes.

I must say as much as i like these guys, i was at the dallas show they used for some of the taping of the new live cd and was very disappointed.

There was very little enthusiasm in their playing, stale jams ect..

They even had the balls to encore with the same song they played last time they played dallas(at the same venue no less).

Now the show from the year before at the Granada was one of the best i have seen form them, but the last show ehhh.
