must see radio moscow
Autopsy IVRock Report: Radio Moscow @ New World Brewery (4/20)
Cross-posted from www.ninebullets.net your pretty descent source for music type stuffs.
When I initially wrote about Radio Moscow I said 
it could be an early contender for show of the year. Boy was I right. I don’t mean to toot my own horn but: WOOOWOOO!
I hit the nail right on the head and I’m guessing that the 50 or so people who made it until the 1:15 am start would agree with me. I have no idea how many people at the show knew who Radio Moscow were, but I’m guessing that damned near every single one of them will be bringing a friend to the next show these kids play in Tampa. You see bands described as primal all the time. Hell, I’ve used the term, but at the Radio Moscow show you could see it. People everywhere, goose-necking, feet-stomping, hands clapping, playing air guitar, one dude dancing, and this one fella was going all Joe Cocker and shit. It was awesome.
All of this mind you, by a crowd that I’m gonna guess was largely unfamiliar with band. While trying to tell you people what the band was like, I kept coming back to the reaction of the crowd. They were infectious. The drummer seemed to be beating his kit into submission as much as playing it, and singer/guitarist? Forget about it. They are a huge, loud guitar orgy just waiting for you to give them an ear. And Tampa did. In all the shows I’ve seen at New World I have never seen a band play an encore and Radio Moscow was not planning on playing one either but the crowd demanded it. I ain’t exaggerating either. The crowd seriously demanded it and the band couldn’t hide the smiles when they came out to play it. So, if you can imagine it, the bar is closed, the house lights are on, and none of the people present at the beginning of the show have left and furthermore, they are begging for more. And all of this from a band most had never heard of an hour before.
Radio Moscow made some fans in Tampa. I hope Tampa made some fans outta Radio Moscow.
If these kids come to your town don’t pass on it. Trust me, you’ll thank me the next day.

Never heard of them, but I’ll make an effort to check them out. You should check out 727 - another awesome area band. Incidentally, though I’m listed on your links page, I’m not listed below in your links column. Help! ;o)

Good review, I am going to some private concert thing at Crowbar on the 30th for Bowling for Soup who I have never hear of. Also I see they have a Friday show May 5th featuring Elysium, local punk/metal guys that you should def check out.

Is Bowling for Soup playing anywhere else? I would like to see them if so.

You may know the song “1985″, I think it was the only top 10 type song. There songs are very pop style but the lyrics are great. They seem like a great bar band.

Yea I agree to above.
Radio Moscow also discovered a new band worth checking out:

I have seen Radio Moscow quite a few times and they are absolutely mind blowing! This blog seems kind of old, but they are still getting better. Youtube their most recent gigs, sit down and try not to get sucked into their sound…I DARE YOU! It won’t work. Mad props to those guys…amazing!
