Mother Falcon’s presence is creative, it’s assertive and it’s tight. They’re an orchestral indie band with enough technique for them to have their own band camp for kids, where kids can learn about writing songs, orchestrating bands and practicing their instruments; sounds like a sweet alternative to School of Rock. Their sound is incredibly rich, combining rock n roll energies with orchestral instruments and structures. Particularly worth listening to is their live album of their performance of Radiohead’s, OK Computer, in it’s entirety which they appropriately titled MF Computer. It’s a successful re-imagination; the closing of Paranoid Android in particular gave me goose pimples. You can catch Mother Falcon live on August 27th at the long Center Concert Club and then again on the 30th at The Mohawk. Don’t miss it. -Jake Saunders
