It&rsquo;s a sound that creeps into the room with a wispy ambiance, allowing for a tangible vulnerability. But suddenly, each calculated melody comes crashing together, and the dynamic shifts. The sound begins to swell with a vibrant chorus, and the fragility gives way into something more powerful, more meaningful. For The Soldier Thread, this comes as second nature. For the rest of us, it comes as breathtaking.</p> thesoldierthread http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/157474/_K3N0372_dramatic_poster.jpg 52947067 http://www.myspace.com/thesoldierthread Austin, Texas YLPBnEc96Bk 104497 <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>RSVP for $5 Entry! $8 otherwise</strong></em></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Click "I Like It!" for a chance to win one of THREE pairs of FREE Tickets!</strong></em></span></p> <p><a href="http://www.twogroove.com/blog" target="_blank">TwoGroove</a> is happy to present <strong>Bamboo Shoots</strong> at Mixx.

Certainly a band of four brown-skinned boys whose collective faces look equally at home on a terrorist watchlist as any promotional poster is, well, unique. That all of the members are of Indian descent at a time when Indian culture is exploding globally is surely... noteworthy. "We gave up on fitting in a long time ago," states singer/guitarist Avir Mitra with a shrug. <br /><br />Mix innovative hooks and lean guitars with urban inspired beats and subtle world flavor, add a dash of Brooklyn cred but temper it with a lyrical openness - now you begin to get at the sound of <strong><em>Armour</em></strong>, their Epic Records debut. It's future-feeling and it's retro and it almost didn't happen.</p> <p><strong>The Soldier Thread<br /></strong></p> <p>There is a fragility coating the sweeping songs of The Soldier Thread; it&rsquo;s scrawled on every measure and delicately interwoven with each chilling harmony.

Upon returning to the United States in December of 2007, they began working on their first self-released EP titled &ldquo;Celebrity.&rdquo; In the spring of 2008, high school friends, drummer Vasanth Coorg and guitarist Jack Reid joined as the gorup began playing shows in and around Austin, Texas. Most recently, Gregg Irick and Scott Cater have joined the band as both Vasanth and Joe moved to new ports of call.</p> http://do512.com/event/2009/11/18/twogroove-presents-bamboo-shoots-w-the-soldier-thread-and-frantic-clam http://do512.com/event/2009/11/18/twogroove-presents-bamboo-shoots-w-the-soldier-thread-and-frantic-clam.xml Wednesday 11/18/09 20091119T020000Z/20091119T020000Z false 1 44.0 08:00 PM Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:00:00 -0600 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:00:00 -0600 RSVP for $5 Entry! $8 otherwise 19 WED http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/295053/bs-st-fc_11-18-09-webres_sq_90.jpg Mixx 7351 http://do512.com/venue/club-mixx http://do512.com/venue/club-mixx.xml
