Stonethrown, The Colorfield Theory, and Ryan Powers Boyle
November’s Second Saturday show began with Florida artist Ryan Powers Boyle performing songs from his newly released album “It’s All So Beautiful, It’s All So Strange”, described by altsounds.com as “a beautifully written and performed symphonic sojourn to that spot deep inside the soul that is common to every human.” His multimedia performance featured a collection of short animated and live-action films made to accompany his music by filmmakers from around the world.
Regarding the second band on the bill, I can’t say it better than Mike Bond of UK Music Search, so I’ll let him do the talking. “Amidst an aural waterfall of cascading guitarscapes and gentle atmospherics you’ll find The Colorfield Theory, a US four piece who manage to marry the gorgeous sonics of Sigur Ros to the stadium friendly anthemics of Coldplay and the swooning guitar istrionics of My Bloody Valentine…An atmospheric and sublime sounding band, The Colorfield Theory make music that dares to dream; crafting songs that take you on a journey and leave you breathless, exhilarated and satisfied.” And they did indeed live up to the expectations brought on by that review!
Finishing off the evening was Stonethrown. Possessing sounds reminiscent of Muse, Jeff Buckley, The Smiths, and Radiohead, they instantly capture your attention and stick with you long after the music has faded. They are a massively talented band and we were thrilled to have them at Cedar Street!
