The Jealous Sound are pure 90's. And I mean that in the best way possible. Back when indie rock meant Fugazi and Emo meant Sunny Day Real Estate, the Jealous Sound were beginning to construct the blueprint for their music. Already steeped in the rock tradition and featuring ex- members of Sunday's Best, Knapsack, and Jawbox, the group developed their sound; a potent mix of alternative, and the pre-cursor to what we know today as "emo". The good kind of emo. Not the bad.

The band is currently on tour and tonight we see them venture to Mohawk Place along with Daytrader, their tour-mates and buddies. Also on the bill are two of Buffalo's most popular "alternative" bands, the Failure's Union and Returners. If you've been missing good rock'n'roll these days, this show is a good place to start. Now, if you'll excuse me...I'm going to listen to some Gin Blossoms.
