Modest Rouse...


Here is some video I captured of Josh Rouse last Tuesday at The Magic Bag in Ferndale (Detroit area). Rouse takes a fresh approach to "pop" music that removes the sugar and replaces it with great lyrics and solid instrumentation. His band didn't disappoint...especially his bass player who plays steady the whole show. Love the groove of this band. This song is Quiet Town, a mellow tune that seems to honor Rouse's love for his life in Spain. Josh has laid back approach on stage, delivering song after song with the determination you might see from a musician trying to record a new album. But he also took some time to have some fun to knock the Ferndale Police, who were apparently questioning the location of his tour bus earlier in the day. I can't say for sure, but I wouldn't describe this band as a neighborhood threat. However, they do threaten to make significant pop music.

Yeah....not bad. The audio blows out a bit....but I really like that thing (Canon SD630). I need to play around with it a bit more to get the settings just right.
