The Day’s Weight at Northeastern 4/8

It must be tough to have an apostrophe in your band’s name – but I guess that’s how you weed out the articulate from the people who don’t care.

I care, and you should. The Day’s Weight will be playing with Delta Spirit and Movers and Shakers tomorrow night, Thursday, April 8th at Northeastern’s afterHOURS club. The show starts around 7:30 p.m.

If The Day’s Weight strikes a familiar chord, it’s because they played to a sold out room at The Deli’s Boston launch party last November.  Though Pat McDermott and Kyle Toomey grew up together playing music in the outskirts of Boston, the band officially hails from Burlington, VT. The two have gathered a strong assortment of musicians from LA to Berklee, and have basically brought together some serious sound.

Dark but refreshing, The Day’s Weight bring the old west to Indie rock.  McDermott’s voice defines the band’s persona – a voice steeped in sexuality and somehow familiar.  Each song successfully tells a story, and they’ll make sure to drive it home. I think they’ll impress the Delta Spirit crowd – which means it’s worth being on time for this show.
