Alamo Black, “Stormy Weather”

We’ve been listening to Alamo Black’s second EP, "Stormy Weather" since we saw the band amongst the offerings tonight for Palaver Thursday at fooBar. Code for the musical undertakings of one man, Nathan Rorabaugh, Alamo Black has us really pleased with his mashup of big, gnashing Pavement-y guitars and bass and higher meanders into minor keys a la Led Zeppelin. Title track "Stormy Weather" is a bit more of the former, and sails along with all of the satisfaction of a pop-punk tune without the annoying side effects of angst or Vans sneakers. If you’re as prone to intense, immediate musical infatuations as we are, this song should be enough to get you out to see Rorabagh and his band at 2511 Gallatin Pike tonight! -Terra James-Jura
