setlist Octopus on the Menu (06/05/11)
Posted By John Schacht on Sun, Jun 5, 2011 at 8:42 AM
OCTOPUS JONES Never mind the ludicrous band moniker or the Myrtle Beach zip code, this band's eight-song debut EP Treat Yourself sounds nothing like any preconceptions either of those names might conjure. (Note to band: there's a rapper called Octopus Jones — good excuse to jettison that name!) Instead, the lush textures of some tracks echo (sorry) Echo & the Bunnymen, while others tilt toward a more laid-back experimental folk feel. Singer Danny Martin may be trying a bit too hard to channel Ian McCullough, but the music's blend sounds real promising. With Kenni Falls and Veda Woolf. $6-$9.
