Low @ Somerville Theatre February 2, 2006

Alan Sparhawk rarely uses foul language, preferring the less alarming modifier "stinkin'" to a more common, sharper word that begins with an F. Mimi Parker swears even less often, and since she provides the otherworldly female voice in Low's songs, that fact might prevent fans from getting a potentially jarring shock. Zak Sally, the poker-faced backbone, couldn't be described as chatty-nor would he want to be. For a decade now, the trio has been building music that rewards listeners that meet it halfway-unassuming, often quiet, slow songs that reveal the world when paid the close attention they deserve.

Please note that Zak Sally has recently left the band and there will be another bassist on this tour
