Local music: Shangrala

Some of you might be familiar with this local group of talented musicians, but I discovered Shangrala just a few months ago through Virb, and ever since, I've been wanting to hear more from them.

According to their profile page; "Layered with complex levels of melodies to create an enormous, almost symphonic sound, Shangrala transports you from the smoky club where you're watching them to some ethereal plane that is exciting." After listening to some of their tracks, I would agree with this description. This Friday will be my first opportunity to hear them live and I'm anxiously looking forward to it.

It also seems they are getting ready to release an album in mid-September, titled "This Is How We Communicate"

Give them a listen to on Virb or Myspace, or join me at Jack Rabbits and hear them live this Friday. map
