The “Dreamland” EP has arrived and Gospel Gossip did a great job bringing it to their fans. After playing an early show at The Contented Cow in Northfield, MN they made the hour drive up to the Turf Club in Midway to rock the cities before playing an in-store the next day at Treehouse Records in Uptown. Hardest working band in the cities? Maybe so, but their work ethic belies a serious talent that’s been discovered by a wider and wider audience over the last few years.
Their show at the Turf was memorable and their new material brings a refined shoegaze distortion-washed sound and excellent songwriting that I’ve come to love. Ollie Moltaji’s drums kept an epic pace, even through a floor tom malfunction and Justin Plank proved to be an unstoppable force rhythmic force after an early-show bass amp failure. Watching lead vocalist and guitarist Sarah Nienaber totally lose herself in the wailing distortion she created was magical. Full photo gallery of Gospel Gossip’s performance after the jump. Last month I had the good fortune to stumble into 7th Street Entry, somewhat randomly, and catch an All the Pretty Gorses show.
Whoa. I had no idea what to expect. It’s everything I’ve always loved about Bowie mixed with a hard-edged goth-rock vibe that I simply can’t ignore. Venus DeMars is a force of nature and having the opportunity to watch old band members hop on stage and party like that was amazing, even if I didn’t know all the history. If ATPH is playing in your area you owe it to yourself to check out the spectacle. And buy some CDs. Photos from the Les Fleurs de Mal show at the Bedlam Theatre and more videos after the jump.

Welcome to fivesixezro.com. This will be a blog about music, a blog about technology, a blog about photography. The world doesn’t know about it yet but soon… Soon it will! Here are some photos to get things started and make sure the machine’s working as it should. Here are some shows I shot prior to starting the blog. More after the jump. (I’ve always wanted to say that…) Maps of Norway, Gospel Gossip, Rank Strangers and Baby Guts at the Turf Club:
