Mon, Oct 19
MICO, Will Linley
Pop that is actually well made gets dismissed twice — once for being pop, and then again for being popular. Both dismissals tend to come from people who have never watched a room of nineteen-year-olds know every word.
That room is the reason to go. This is early-career pop with real songs underneath it, and the audience is at the stage where they are not yet embarrassed about how much it means to them, which produces a volume that headliners twice the size cannot generate. Will Linley opens, working the same bright, slightly bruised territory.
A Monday, which is unusual for a downtown room this size and means the crowd is made entirely of people who genuinely rearranged their week.
Doors at seven, music at eight. October 19, House of Blues, 1055 Fifth Ave. Bring the younger cousin who sent you the song, or go alone and admit later that you liked it. Downtown gets a steady run of these rooms full of people who are not being cool about anything.
