Chicks and Cellos

So I went to see Matson Jones and Maps of Norway at the Triple Rock on the 20th. Maps of Norway were their usual kick ass selves. They have some great vocals but I see them just wanting to explode. They want to just dive in and rock their asses off. They hold back but not in a way that hurts their music at all. They have a lot of energy and strong sets and enjoy seeing them as much as possible.

Matson Jones is a band from a town just north of Denver, CO. I was told about this band by a friend in the Denver area. They're a four peice that consists of two lady cellists, and guy on the stand up bass and a great male drummer. Its been quite a while since I've seen a band without a guitar and really dug it. These ladies knew how to rock their cellos and definitely had beautiful vocals. But it was really all held together by a very talented drummer who was a force on the skins. I have their self titled cd and would recommend it to most people.
