Music Picks for Wednesday, July 14

Scholars Word - Pourhouse (Reggae)
This Florida based band comes to the Pourhouse while in the midst of an East Coast Tour. They play a version of Reggae that some may characterize as Ska. Their musical stylings are very similar to The Pietasters - except with a lot better vocals.... This is an interesting listen and very,very good for those of you who need a Reggae fix... Good stuff, solid and this band has the talent to pull the instrumentation and vocals together which is not allways the case with Reggae...
www.myspace.com/scholarsword - check out "wanna rise" very good
There are no opening bands posted - so expect a 10-10:30 start....

Nuclear Power Pants w/ The Ts - Berkeley Cafe (Americana/Rock/Indie)
This band splits it's time between Baltimore and Providence and is in the middle of a mini east coast swing.... This is an interesting mix of Americana and indie pop with the electro elements as well as the instruments and the retro sounding vocals. All in all a very interesting sound and certainly worth a listening to. I'm intrigued as their one avail song is very well put together - despite the fact that they try to give the appearance of otherwise... It's very very good. I'm certainly looking forward to this show.... As an Added Bonus, Raleigh faves, The Ts will be opening for these guys and will rock out the stage and warm up the crowd palying their brand of local indie rock... All in all two great bands - gonna be a great night!
