I scream, you scream, we all scream for.... LOGOS


I feel so incredibly lucky to live in a city with so much musical talent. Not everyone can say that on any given weekend they can pay 5 dollars or so and sit and watch live music that is on par with most of the fantastic bands around.

I take it for granted, honestly.

Once again I've been blown away by undeniable talent. LOGOS are 3 deliciously lovely young men, who rock so hard and so well, you would never guess two of the members just graduated high school. Their drummer, a mere 24. Their sound is amazingly mature and refined for a trio so young.

Their music is best described as rich and melodic. They show rock no quarter. Their songs throwback to the days when you laid on giant pillows in the corner on the floor of your bedroom ears beneath giant headphones the size of your head and got lost in the sound of bands like Boston, Rush, and Rolling Stones.

Speaking of Rush, LOGOS do an amazing rendition of Working Man. And, being able to play Rush and do Alex Lifeson/Neil Peart a great deal of justice does nothing but speak to the talent these guys have. Let's not forget belting out the distinct and pitch perfect lyrical styling of Geddy Lee. THAT IS NOT EASY. Watching them, you'd never guess exactly how hard it really is.

These guys will be big. It won't take very long. And I will be sad because that means they will be selling out stadiums and arenas, not my local concert venue. But, that's the price you pay for good music. You enjoy it, watch them refine their sound, then turn and cheer them on when they have to move to the coast to make it big.

That's what these guys are. Big.

So in the meantime, you'll see my friends and I at our local concert venue, nodding our heads and singing along, because that is what we do.

We are adoring of live music. We are in love with great rock.

LOGOS is a must see band. Don't forget your ear plugs.

Speaking of Working Man, I happen to have video of them doing this aforementioned song at Jefferson Barracks for the KSHE Klassics show. They opened for April Wine and Blue Oyster Cult. At 18, could you have said that?

Enjoy.
