Bars of Gold
Using my other reviews here and here, I’ve concluded that Bars of Gold are rock and roll scientists whose hard-work and love for their craft creates something emanate and beautiful. They helped support Childbite for their Album Release at the Magic Bag in Ferndale on June 19th. Bars of Gold is tentatively releasing their album “Of Gold” on August 24th. The record release concert is being held at Founder’s Brewery in Grand Rapids on Saturday, September 11th. Its $5 dollar entry. You can listen to three songs on their Myspace Page and their new single “The Hustle” at Friction Records website. I believe “The Hustle” is the only song they’ve released online that is fully mastered- however thats just a guess. One thing I’ve noticed about Bars of Gold is undeniably a Michigan band and its something I cannot find the right words to explain. Thanks to www.onethirtybpm.com for linking me here.
Fawn
Fawn is a solid three-piece band destined for car speakers. My father and I had a discussion about how awesome it would be to have a Fawn CD for our drive to Copper Harbor, Michigan. During Fawn’s performance we kept glancing at each other with smiles. Fawn is exactly the band me and my Father love; its rock and roll with character. Dual female and male vocalists add to Fawn’s character. Also impressive was their drummer (who also drums for Javelin). I am excited to see Fawn again to hear what else they have to offer. You can listen to their music on Facebook here.

Child Bite CD Release Show
The first time I saw Child Bite they were dressed as Rage Against the Machine performing a set of cover songs for Halloween 2009. I could tell that Child Bite was quirky, but really wanted to experience what their music had to offer. I saw Child Bite as themselves when they opened up for Trevor Dunn’s Madlove at the Pike Room in Pontiac. I was surprised that there was no saxophone and only three members on stage, but the music was unexpected reminiscent of art rock or the post-rock genres. From the beginning of their set Child Bite was fast, aggressive and funky. Their album release show was solid and flashier than other performances -the audience loved them. With the $10 entry we were able to choose between CD, Cassette or Vinyl copy of their new CD on Joyful Noise Recordings called “The Living Breathing Organ Summer”. You can buy the album here.

Silverghost
Silverghost is a lovely two-piece creating pop music filled with fuzz and analog synths . I didn’t know what to expect when I saw a floating head move around on the screen behind them until my Dad educated me on the 1974 film Zardos. It was an a strange movie backing the bizarre and intriguing pop songs that emanated from Silverghost. You can download their new EP for free here.

Updates
We’ve reimaged the Sunday Idiom a bit and I’ve kept on doing the whole digital illustration-digital art- graphic design thing. It’s a lot of fun, but I keep disappointing myself with the lack of music reviews. Honestly it’s all about the money and disposable income. My fiancée’ just got cut to part time and keeping up with technology to keep the site running, as well as a list of other excuses is growing longer. Things are tight, but that doesn’t mean The Sunday Idiom is going to stop. I am going to continue doing what I love and nothing is going to stop me- not even Michigan’s bleak economy. Things like the Bars of Gold concert review may not happen as often, but they will keep happening. I am going to start school at the International Academy of Design and Technology in August with hopes it will take me down the right path.
