Life Changing, indeed. Reeve Carney and the Revolving Band

I don't know yet HOW but it WAS DEFINITELY a life changing evening.
OH MY GOD. Thank you for blessing these musicians. These people. It is mind blowing. It reconciliates me with being here. I was sitting there, jaw dropped and heart wide opened, thinking: Jesus, I am PART of this. I am here, and they are alive. It's not like I have to think, too bad I wasn't born in the 60's.
People who know me know that I don't get start struck easily (unless I accidentally flirt wiht MOS DEF and find out about it later, lol). I am love struck now. I am amazed. I can't describe it. I feel like X-mas. Every inch of these musicians was LOVE for, to, through the music. It was amazing. Almost every song somehow honoring and praising God. The whole attitude totally humble and serving this bigger thing, you know? Not pretentious at all. Just joyfully praising. Contemplating. Celebrating. Anyone, please check http://www.myspace.com/reevecarney out.
This is the first time in my life that I actually think that I am lucky to be in LA and in this time.
His brother is an amaaaaazing guitar player, his sister is the sweetest back up singer, and he made her sing a couple of jazz songs which she beautifully presented... Reeve's voice kind of reminds of Jeff Buckley sometimes and he plays blues liek... I don't know. He actually understands it.
This is a living band. Reeve Carney and the Revolving Band.
My German Student Theresa took me there and she is friends with them *lucky me!* and got me in for free and man... I don't know. what to say else. Just go and listen. Seriously. Keep your eyes open for them. They are in my humble opinion the future of Rock. The hope. That our generation is not completely brainlessly and heartlessly lost.
