Twilight Sleep and Static of the Gods at Silverlake Lounge

It was off to see Twilight Sleep and Static of the Gods at Silverlake Lounge.

Static of the Gods hails from Boston. Their myspace page states that their influences are the sun, moon, stars, land, and sea. I'd agree. At moments, it was like listening to these heavenly sounds.

Comment: It's a little hot in here. I am a little sweaty, I am not going to lie.

Twilight Sleep started their set without introducing themselves. They set up their instruments, did their sound check and then just started their set. For a couple seconds there I was wondering if they were just doing a quick jam to see if the sound was okay or if they were starting their first song. As soon as it was evident that they were starting their set, their fans moved towards the stage.

Comment: We have a backing band. It's called the radio.

Once again a band at Silverlake Lounge was competing with a Spanish radio station for the hearts of the Lounge's patrons. Twilight Sleep's lead singer put the microphone near the monitor, but this resulted in some horrid feedback and she quickly jumped back and apologized, "I wanted you guys to hear what we are hearing."
