Come up for a Breath of Rock Air

If you're looking for a nice reprieve from the thick country fog that has settled on the city this week (nothing against the CMA Music Festival. It's just not my thing.), consider spending Friday night with the koo.

the koo is a local up and coming rock band, with gigs at local venues like The Rutledge, Mercy Lounge, and 12th and Porter under their belts. They were also recently featured as a Local Buzz band on 102.9 The Buzz.

Never heard of the koo? Don't want to go because you can't sing along? No problem. Just go to be entertained. Marvel at Jesse's crazy guitar riffs. Or Tucker's mad bass lines. Or Joel's hard-core drum beats. Or, just sit in amazement as the sometimes barefoot front man, Josh Harper, leads the whole rock chorus.

It's sure to be a fun show. If you can't make it out this week, keep an eye on their MySpace page. They tend to have a pretty steady stream of dates.
