The Arkansas Traveler - Silversun blows the top off George's, packs house despite storm

The roof was blown off George's Majestic Lounge last Monday night. It wasn't from the massive Tornado/Thunderstorm/Typhoon/Hurricane hitting Northwest Arkansas, though. No it was from the raw rock, enthusiasm and power of Silversun Pickups, Manchester Orchestra and Cage the Elephant.

But who could blame the bands for showing an excessive amount of energy, the wild storm couldn't stop the Fayetteville music scene from packing George's back room to capacity last week. And they were repaid heavily from all three bands who, even though they all play a uniquely different blends of indie-rock, seemed to know the dimmensions of how to put on a "punk rock" show, complete with more energy packed inside George's than a Red Bull, Monster, coffee and 5-hour energy could combine.

Hordes of people packed George's from the get go because of the torrential downfall soaking Fayetteville Monday night. But it was clear as soon as they took the stage Silversun Pickups packed more electricity than the lightning lighting up the windows at the venue. With a constant smile on his face vocalist/guitarist Brian Aubert never broke stride when powering through almost a two-hour set in a crowded Majestic Lounge...
