Its a summer night, and the sunset strip is calling me in 20 different directions. Tonight I choose to make my way to The Echo Curio to watch Seasons perform. Its been a long time since I’ve seen this band live and I’m quite anxious to see what’s in store for the night. The small room is hot, humid, and crowded. Someone walking by would look in and see a collection of instruments draped with Christmas lights . I look in and see a familiar stage set up to present one of the best bands to come out of HLP, Seasons. 



If you aren’t familiar with the name i suggest you quickly go see this rock orchestra live, immediately. Not only will you be in for a performance as unique as the band itself, you will tingle and tantalize your senses with their music as these artists are seasoned (no pun intended) musicians who know how to conjure a great performance at the drop of a hat. 

Their set starts off with songs that i am not familiar with but and as far as i can tell they have progressed in a big way since the last time i saw them. I hear Orbison-esque tones and psychedelic hints throughout their songs. The haunting vocals, the wailing guitars,and the adept drumming all come together to make for one incredible live set. Without a doubt Seasons belong in a genre all their own. From the first song to the grand finale you can feel the electric energy these guys so effortlessly emit through their music. Each and every song is a testament to their skill as musicians. They end the night with “The Sea” an all out explosion of instrumental build ups and break downs that leaves you craving more. Its an oldie but goodie. Oh but how I wish they would have played “India” though!



Seasons are currently recording and preparing to release “Summer” an EP that is the follow up to their “Spring” appropriately. You can get your hands on one at the Triple EP Release Party Extravaganza at Pehrspace on August 22nd. A night of truly great talent is guaranteed for all. Odd Modern are debuting their “Sweet Release” EP and Manhattan Murder Mystery is launching their new EP as well making this night a must see. Until then keep cool on these hot summer nights with the chill sound of seasons.
