Wow even better than the web page was my reaction when White Lighters began to play at their recent Alphaville show. I went out to Alphaville in Bushwick last week and saw White Lighters for the first time. They opened up the evening doing what seemed to be more complex instrumentals than what we hear on Bandcamp.
When I was in my pre-concert venues and bands cross-checking mode, I was drawn to the band's music because I liked its laid-back rock sound including some scraggly bumps-in-the-road in some of their song structures. However, when I got to the show, I was surprised to see what was almost a different band! While they played some of the same songs as on the web page, there was no more laid-back at this show! Very strong instrumentals with powerful drums as well as a tambourine along with two guitars.
One of the qualities I liked about the band's performance was listening to the guitars, at times each going its own way. Yet each combined into a cohesive presentation.
Here is a sample of their music. This is "In My Way", which is the opening track on their December, 2016 album, "White Heaters".
The music above is quite different from what you'll experience if you hear the band live. And, to do that, perfect timing, the band is returning to Alphaville tomorrow night!. If you'd like to visit the band's Facebook page, here is the click ::: White Lighters on Facebook.
