Gungor

Last night, our friend Barbara, Harper, and I went to see Gungor. It was awesome. I've seen a lot of good bands, but until last night, I've never wanted to actually be in the band.

Gungor, I'm available. Call me.

I like several things about this band. First, the instrumentation is cool. Last night, in addition to guitars, bass, and piano, they had a string trio, a melodica, and a banjo. The texture they create is just plain cool.

Secondly, their lyrics are great. I love songs that can articulate feelings that you didn't even know you were feeling. You can listen to a couple of their songs below.
