It’s been pointed out to us that Hannah Levin (in her writerly capacity over at the Seattle Weekly) wrote a nice little preview about us prior to our show last Friday, and we wanted to pass it along!

Here’s an excerpt (okay, okay… most of the post) for ya:
“Tonight, it’s a promising 6-piece collective called Manos de Plata whose sound weaves chamber pop with subtle, psych-tinged threads and occasionally descends into full-tilt, Radiohead-channeling rock. “
– Hannah Levin, Seattle Weekly

Hooray for us, and many thanks to Hannah for her kind words. The show was great (and packed), and it seems like folks can’t get enough of the new material we’ve been slangin’. We can’t wait for the next show!

P.S.: 10/15 at the High Dive!

Our CD release party last month was a great success, and now we have an extra opinion on the matter!  Nikki over at Seattle Show Gal came out to the show, and had some nice things to say about us.  She even videotaped the show, and a couple of the songs that we played are available for viewing below (as well as on her blog).

Finally, as Nikki says in the conclusion of her show recap, “All and all, Manos De Plata is a fresh sea breeze in the Seattle music scene. They are currently a well kept secret, but not for long. Be sure to catch to catch a show the next time they are play at a venue near you!”
