Video for Pilot Speed's "Barely Listening"

Anybody with a penchant for indie rock will be happy to hear about the Tralf Music Hall’s show tonight, both for the line-up as well as the fact that the show will be the first in the venue’s “Indie Rock Thursdays” concert series. This new series, which will feature predominantly local acts, kicks off with Pilot Speed (formerly Pilate), a critically acclaimed Toronto band poised to break into the American music scene. Named “Best Unsigned Band” at Canada’s 2002 North-by-Northeast music conference and nominated for numerous other awards, Pilot Speed is hot off their September 2006 release of Into the West (Wind Up Records), and ready to rock. Also playing are the Missing Planes, La Cacahouette, Love Parade and Lemuria, all of which are local bands also quickly gaining critical acclaim of their own. Next week (Thursday, December 28) brings performances by London vs. New York, Swath and more.

Thursday, December 14 at 8pm. Tralf Music Hall, 622 Main St. (852-2260)
