The first time I met Jack O’Brien and his mustache was back in April at the Foals concert. My friends pointed him out in giddy fan excitement and I thought, Ah, this is that Bright Light Social Hour that everyone keeps talking about. Of course he is only one of 4 talented members, but Jack was delightful when we pestered him and I thought, with a mustache like Jack’s, their band has to be great. I immediately went home to download their album. No wonder my friends had been so giddy!
Bright Light Social Hour is based out of Austin, and given this city’s ‘keep it weird’ mentality, it’s no wonder their sound has trouble fitting a mold. This rock group (and they certainly rock!) channels classic influences, are sometimes heavy, often light, quirky, syncopated. They are certainly a band going places!
I can’t think of a better place to enjoy this hometown group and hear them for the first time than at Blues on the Green where they performed on Wednesday night under the warm, Texas summer sun. They are a band that rocks and knows how to rock it out on stage. I can’t wait to catch them any chance I get. I’ve officially become one of their giddy fans!
