Stanko / Andrew Shea / Monitor & the Merrimac / Bruhder
The rest of my fantastic journey through northwestern Connecticut in photos and links. photos and links.
Stanko [at the Newtown Teen Center - Newtown, CT]
Sounds Like: super nintendo, surf-rock, synth-rock
Andrew Shea [Cafe Napoli - Watertown, CT]
Sounds like: Singer-songwriter heavily influenced by elliott smith. but with yelling. and more storytelling.
Monitor and the Merrimac [Cafe Napoli - Watertown, CT]
Sounds like: Alt-country, bluegrass, folk with a striking vocal similarity to Isaac Brock.

Bruhder [Cafe Napoli - Watertown, CT]
Sounds like: The child of Mates of State, Moldy Peaches and Ben Kweller with an acoustic guitar and five vocalists. Every song is a giant chorus. They would be the next big thing if they were in Brooklyn instead of Connecticut–so incredibly radical live.
