Lonely Forest, Nuclear Winter

proud of my boys...

THE LONELY FOREST, CAPITOL BASEMENT, NATALIE PORTMAN'S SHAVED HEAD, THE SUTURES
(Vera Project/Folklife, 5/27/07)
After seeing the Lonely Forest for the first time sans
guitar player (he left late last year to attend school), I was so
impressed that I had to immediately gush about them on Line Out—they
have consciously made their new material just as dynamic as before,
even without the oh so important six-string, and as a longtime fan,
that made me very happy. Drummer Braydn Krueger is a machine—one of
the best young drummers in the city (and by "young," I mean under 21).
Singer/keyboardist John Van Deusen's voice can cleanly croon, but he
also gets emotional and cathartic, adding a nice dichotomy to the
beauty of his piano. Get stoked for their upcoming album, Nuclear
Winter—it's a self-described "space rock odyssey into an alternate
dimension," and based on the songs posted on their MySpace page
(www.myspace.com/thelonelyforest), it'll no doubt carve them a nice,
long-standing niche in the local scene as not just an "underage" band,
but a talented one too. MEGAN SELING, The Stranger
