REV. ADAM MCKINNEY: ROMAN HOLIDAY AT THE HUB TONIGHT >>>

While searching MySpace for local music, as I do from time to time, I stumbled across Roman Holiday and was promptly knocked for a loop. Theirs is a slick indie rock sound so pristine, so flawless, that it quite frankly made me upset.

Making matters worse is the band's baffling history: They've been together just barely a year, and before that the members didn't really know each other. Roman Holiday's first few months together were spent writing and recording their startlingly professional EP, and only after that did they start performing. The group was assembled with the help of a producer.

It's all so fishy. Read their story before their show tonight at The Hub.
