The Easy choice...

Summer means more time, later nights and lots of gigs. Time to start looking in our favorite place in town to go, Whelan's. The next few weeks of gigs wasn't looking too promising until I stumbled across these guys...

Ezio are a British Acoustic-y Rock indie band from Cambridge. They're similar to Elbow, in so far as they've been going since 1990 and have yet to make it into the mainstream. It's always good to see bands going for that length of time without the desire to get rich/famous and sell out into the popular music scene.

The songs they write are quite varied, with interesting influences from classics like The Stones or The Who mixed with a good bit of originality. Head over to their Myspace page. The songs to listen to are "Higher" and "Woohoohoo (Song for a fired waitress)".

They'll be playing upstairs in Whelan's, on Sunday 24th. I think you'll know where we'll be. Today's lovely photo comes from someone, known only as Rachel.
