Midlake returns to play in College Station tonight
H0UST(

•ation Tli
By Kevin Burns
THE BATTALION
First spotted playing live at a small
Denton venue called Ribshack, Midlake has
made its name in venues around Texas and
is returning to play College Station this
weekend. 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

more important to consider.
