So our good pal and supercontributor, Mr. Ian Thomson hit us up saying he had to go see this show. We aren't to proud to say we weren't previously familiar with this band, so we checked em out. Of course, it took us about 30 seconds into the first listen and we were HUGE fans. What an incredible band with an incredible and original sound. Feel good music. Here's a couple photos and Ian's quick review, and

With accents reminiscent of a travelling circus, He's My Brother, She's My Sister take the stage to fill the air at the Electric Owl on this early Saturday. Hailing from LA, Robert and Rachel Kolar lead this unique 5-piece outfit including a lap steel, a custom hippie-painted double bass, and a percussionist who tap dances on a mic'd up wooden block. Somehow overshadowing the composure of this musical line up is Rachel's leopard print unitard, which allows her the freedom to wail on her favoured tambourine. They purvey lyrical sentiments no doubt inspired by the free love movement music of the 60's and 70's, coupled with artsy folk melodies and a subtle honky-tonk underlay, the room is forced into a boot-stomping dance party. Tonight He's My Brother, She's My Sister confirmed their growing reputation as a hard-working touring band, and I'd encourage anyone to go experience it live should you have the chance.
