Bands offer a different sound for Aggieland
By Andy Hancock ~
The Battalion
For those looking for something
out of the ordinary tonight, the bands
JSly Letter and Blue October have re
turned to College Station for a con
cert at Shadow Canyon.
Sly Letter once called College
Station home, though they are now
based in Houston.
I The band will bring acoustic
rock to the area for the evening. Sly
Letter produces their original sound
Ihrough the incorporation of
acoustic and electric guitars, bass,
drums and percussion, a mandolin
and a pair of lead singers.
; In College Station two years ago,
firmed with just a guitar and vocals,
ihe band gradually added members,
growing to the current total of six
members. Sly Letter recorded its first
album just over a year and a half ago
and will soon start recording songs in
the studio.
“I am really looking forward to
hitting the studios in the future, this
next album is going to be great,”
said mandolin player Mark Mc-
David. “We actually found our true
sound and songwriting style after the
first album was recorded, and it
proved that we had a future together.
“Our next album will definitely
show exactly how much we have
evolved as a band and how well we
play together,” he said.
McDavid said the band’s current
album is a softer side of Sly Letter.
“It is definitely a sit down and lis
ten to album that really highlights
our songwriting and our harmony,”
McDavid said.
However, a Sly Letter live perfor
mance differs from the mellow pace
of the CD.
“Our live shows have a lot more
entertainment value — it is very en
ergetic and contains a lot of interac
tion,” McDavid said.
McDavid said the band is looking
forward to playing in Aggieland.
“College Station has always been
good to us; it is where we are from,”
McDavid said.
The group has been extensively
touring Austin and Houston. The
band’s record sales have steadily in
creased and the band has gained
more exposure, McDaniel said.
Sly Letter has opened for bands
like Vertical Horizon,.the Scabs and
Pat Green.
Now as the band continues to tour,
they are keeping their eyes open for a
record label that is just right for them
to produce their follow-up album.
Lead singer Justin Surstenfeld
said he was excited to return to the
College Station venue because of
the loyal fans. Bassist Matt Novesky
said Aggieland is his favorite place
to play in Texas. Jeremy Sursten
feld, drummer and brother of lead
singer Justin, shared in the anxiety
of returning.
“College Station rocks; we al
ways have a good time playing
there,” he said.
Blue October will give fans a dose
of their music, which Jeremy Sursten
feld describes as “bipolar art rock.”
Blue October’s musical influences
include the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Things have been looking up for
Blue October, who recently played a
sold-out show in Omaha after the re
lease of their second single.
The band has toured with many big
name bands such as Stone Temple Pi
lots, Godsmack, 311, Three Doors
Down, Eve 6 and Days of The New.
Justin Surstenfeld offered some
advice for concert-goers for
tonight’s show.
“Come to the show with your
guard down and with complete un
derstanding involved,” he said,
“fton’t be afraid of being surprised;
it is going to be bad ass.”
