The Return of Burning Up White
Long time indie heroes Burning Up White returned for their first show in what seemed like ten years to me. But after speaking with lead singer Maryanne Wilson after the show I learned it had only been about five. They just have been out there intermittently, are extremely busy, and have other music projects going as well. On to the show. It was a triumphant return for the 3 piece…wait 4 piece now! They added a bass player named Rob, and Maryanne who had played bass previously, switched over to a guitar. They sounded like they had never been away. One would expect a little rust but little was found. Breaking out mostly new material, they rocked little Buddie’s Tavern with their off kiltered spacy hooks and moody vocal musings. Some of the highlights were “Sharks”, which i believe is one of their older staples. They also breathed some new life into the Pixies classic “Gigantic”. Nice to have BUW back.
Included here are those tracks. Check them out:
