dozemarypool (9:35-10:15) Blueberry Hill’s Duck Room
These guys delivered a blistering set at the PLAY:STL Music Festival. Their recent management agreement with Playback’s Laura Hamlett afforded them a prime festival slot. dozemarypool has been a fixture on the Saint Louis music scene for over 5 years. I used to work with Ryan (guitars/vocals) and Keith (bass) at Mars Music back in 2003-2004. They’ve gone through many derivations, staring as a five-piece and eventually pairing down to a trio when they released their album “Three Pieces” earlier this year. I saw them perform at Cicero’s over the summer and Keith was doing double duties as bassist and keyboardist. So it wasn’t a complete shock to learn that they have since taken on a fourth member, a full-time keyboardist. As a three piece they kept their sound full with a dizzying array of guitar and bass effects pedals. The new keyboardist adds an extra texture to this wall of sound. I look forward to hearing their sound progress as they utilize the keyboard as a melodic instrument rather than just a harmonic addition to previously keyboard-free songs. If you enjoy Radiohead you’ll dig dozemarypool. Make sure to bring ear plugs. They are always loud.
