PAUL SCHRAG: THE COLOR OF EAST TONIGHT >>>

I just spent five minutes trying to figure out what a Coloro Feast was. Apparently, it’s The Color of East, which is apparently a band from Tacoma.  They’ll be at the New Frontier tonight celebrating their debut EP In the House of Endless Light with Bandolier and Battersea.

“We’ve shared the music with a lot of people the last few months,” says lead singer Patrick Smyth. “It’s always a little scary to put something new out there. We’ve been very happy with the response, it’s been wonderful. We want to get it in the hands of anyone who wants to hear it.”

Color of East characterizes itself as psychedelic-garage-pop, and delivers something that sounds like emo-Iggy-Pop-on-Quaaludes.

It’s way cooler than it sounds.
