Ian/Media Jeweler at The Echo

Ian. This bands lists their influence as being Andy Kaufman.  I have to disagree.  I think their music is inspired by various indie rockers from the 1980s.  How about 10,000 Maniacs?  Siouxsie and the Banshees?  They mentioned on stage that they're moving to Los Angeles from Boston.  I think Boston has lost an awesome band.  Those vocals have a purity to them that keeps your attention.




Media Jeweler.  This is a band that doesn't realize it is in a band.  Highlight moment:  as their set is drawing to a close, one member is still jamming while the other is packing things up.  Highlight moment 2:  one member runs off stage, disappears in The Echo's Green Room, and comes back with a handful of mini-chocolate candies to toss into the crowd.  This is a band of individual musicians who somehow are tossed up into the air and by magic end up on the same stage to jam.  What are they doing?  Whatever they're doing, it works.
