The Rebel Light/Mount Saint/The Black and The White at Bootleg HiFi

The Rebel Light.  They make you think about spending a warm summer afternoon at a Southern California beach.  Then they bring out the trumpet and you feel like you're dancing on the beach.

Mount Saint.  Hey, most of the band members are from Glendale.  Glendale isn't the hippest place in Southern California, but I also live in Glendale so I'm sold.  I immediately recognized one member of the band though I couldn't exactly place him.  I did a little digging and saw that Drew Beck is also in (or was in) Chasing Kings.  There is just this layer upon layer style to their music that holds you attention.

The Black and the White.  A light touch of funk.  A full show of energy.  A touch of dance.  A drummer who kicks it off.  A bassist who lets the lights play along with him.  A lead singer who whips to the side in quick motion.  You'll find yourself wanting to press close to the stage.
