Say “YES!” to NO When They Perform at Middle East Upstairs in Boston on March 23!
LA-based six-piece NO, will be bringing their stunning live show to Boston ~ playing at Middle East Upstairs on March 23. Fresh off of SXSW, the guys are back on the road with the Arts & Crafts Label Tour which also features The Darcys and Reuben And The Dark. PRESS HERE to check out NO’s video for “Leave The Door Wide Open” on PasteMagazine.com. The track was included on NPR’s Heavy Rotation and was also included in NPR’s Austin 100 SXSW Mix. You can also check out the awesome feature on the band in the Los Angeles Times HERE!
Here are more accolades the press has lavished on NO:
“Every city has ‘the band that should have been HUGE.’ In the music mecca of Los Angeles, that list is nearly endless, but NO have broken through the clutter with a fully-formed debut, El Prado…the band’s toured widely for the last two years and developed a sound at once familiar (The National, Interpol) and all their own. ‘Leave The Door Wide Open’ is the opening track from their terrific new album.” ~ NPR
“… a fully formed statement, played with skill and conviction that belies the band’s relative youth … the kind of rock music that is powerful and emotional, yet doesn’t wring the listener out by the record’s end, thus inspiring multiple listens in the years to come. Hometown heroes, we salute you!” ~ KCRW.com
“Echo Park’s NO respond to life’s lower ebbs by creating a dazzling sort of doom, and splicing together gothic funk guitars, a soul-shuddering baritone vox and the kind of grubby melancholy Interpol excel at. (“20 Tracks You Have To Hear This Week”) ~ NME
“Buoyed by a sweeping orchestral build up, Carter’s vocals eventually dissolve into an adjoining choir, leaving the song’s pure emotional core to vibrate into the ether. (“Leave The Door Wide Open”) ~ Consequence of Sound
