Mid lake is a four-piece rock band from Denton with Tim Smith on vocals, Mckenzie Smith on drums, Eric Nichelson on bass and Paul Alexander on guitar. Midlake brings all its equipment on the bus and tonight this up-and-coming new band will rock the Third Floor Cantina with its seductively expressive lyrics and lullaby- esque melodies. The event starts at 9:30 p.m., with Red Animal War opening. All having various jazz backgrounds, they initially played what Mckenzie called “acid-jazz.'” They have since sanded away their jazz influence in favor of a more mod em rock sound that Midlake's band manag er and A&M senior marketing major Eric Pulido describes as mixed-bag. “It’s a gritty, lo-fi, indie rock,” Pulido said. “It's just a very eclectic style of music — mixing classic sounds of the Beatles. Elvis Costello and David Bowie with mod ern sounds that have come about with Radiohead and Granddaddy,” Pulido said. Denying Midlake’s jazz roots, Mckenzie, a former University of North Texas (UNT) student, talked about deconstructing his music-school pedagogy. “When you want to play the music we have to play, you have to break the rules you're taught in school ” McKenzie said. “So for us. we had to unlearn a lot of things.” Tim Smith, a Jazz graduate of UNT agreed. “We’re trying to play more simply and more emotionally,” Tim Smith said. “Jazz is more technical. For a long time we were too polished.” Midlake comes following the coattails of a recent EP release titled Milkmaid Grand Army (MGA). To Tim Smith. MGA has a special meaning. “There’s a famous painting of a milk maid I saw which 1 really like. It reminded me of the power that the girl had, that women have ... that would be the mean ing,” Smith said. He also confessed that most of his lyrics revolve around his fascination of women and forests. For Pulido, it has a less nostalgic, more visual meaning. “It means the next step in a lot of ways,” Pulido said, “It’s something Midlake’s been wanting to do, but not rush. I think a lot of times bands can just rush into putting out an EP or CD and try to shop it around and get it sold, and cheapening the sound they could make. I think Midlake did an awesome job of perfecting the sound they wanted before they went into a studio to record it.” Mckenzie admits the heritage of Midlake’s music schooling is evident in the complexity of its songs, but when the crowd quiets and the volume goes to zero at the iders cut thing is to cohesively put togethersta werful a thing that is art and evokes emotipti" detaila Pulido, after .1 summer of wakinglim"decay' 44 When you want to play the music we have to play y you have to break the rules you re taught in school.
