Flatlands ... You Can See Your House From Here!


I've always had this theory about living in a flat place. Many people feel more secure in mountainous areas and brag of better scenery but, if you live somewhere flat, you can always see danger coming. And, the sunsets are better.

So, take that, Colorado.

Perhaps this is the theory behind naming a band Flatlands - to show the relationship between a fun, acoustic rock show and the scenery that seems to fit it best. If there is any match for wide open skies, it is the Flatlands aesthetic of acoustic sound and Guster-esque harmonies. Both are testaments to the air and being a person surrounded by it. Think about it.

We'll host Flatlands in the HoDo Lounge tomorrow night starting at 8:30 p.m. No cover, 21+.
