REVIEW: The Subjects @ The Hideaway Saloon – 9/27/09
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009
Sunday night we headed to the Hideaway Saloon to see Brooklyn’s The Subjects with SameSoul and Louisville’s Lotus Blake. What a great way to end the weekend. First off, The Hideaway has an amazing beer selection which is a great complement to any show (especially when it is Dogfish brew). The Subjects are a simple indie rock band without pretension that has developed a sound that hits a strong chord. With no staple identifier they can range from pop rock to harmonic folk with vocals from multiple band members. It blends nicely into a sound all of their own. They have a ton of talent and people are starting to take note. They’ve toured with White Rabbits and are about to embark on a tour with one of my favorite bands of 2009, Cincy’s Bad Veins (see below for the tour schedule). Check out the video below, but be sure to also listen to “The Hounds of War” for a better representation of their tunes.
