Show Review: Darry Miller & the Veil

I finally went and saw Darry Miller and the boys at a show I had nothing to do with booking and enjoyed it immensely. The Legendary Dobbs on South Street was the venue, Friday was the night, and the place was packed. New bassist/background vocalist Josh Kirwin, formerly of Captain of Compliments, meshes well with the band's always-impeccable stage presence, and newer synth-oriented material like single "Quite the Substance" demonstrates the songwriting diversity that earned them Tri-State Indie's Central PA Band of the Year. Most impressive, however, was their cover of MGMT's "Time to Pretend", a song they've made completely their own as far as I'm concerned. Skip to 6:30 for the "Time to Pretend" cover. This is from Radio 104.5's excellent "Live @ 5" series.
