Albums Moment By Moment

Press Reviews LAMA Showcase (Los Angeles Music Awards Showcase) at The Gig By G-Man Some sort of spell is cast when Larisa Stow sings. While she's singing, she makes you think she has the prettiest voice in the world. And there is no doubt about her commanding presence -- during her quieter moments, you could sense an elegant tension in the room as people surrendered themselves to her every syllable. Stow brings religious imagery to her lyrics and performs them with an ardor that can give listeners a jolt of electricity. She touches souls and can get you to dance at the same time. David Del Grosso, on acoustic-electric guitar, plays with a passion that befits the waves of emotion coming from Stow. His chord choices are consistently exciting. Matthew Basile, bass, dances with his instrument, which is fitting since he provides a groove-happy bottom to the songs, wonderfully supporting the melodies and interacting perfectly with Christopher Pellani's bang-on drumming and enticing percussion. Timothy Chen coaxes amazing tones from his Parker Fly guitar and an assortment of effects that skitter in, over, under and around the tunes. Speaking of great tones, Diana Lorden contributes a delightful arsenal of them with electric violin and keyboard, often adding gorgeous harmony vocals. The effect of seeing Larisa Stow and her band is like encountering a genuine sorcerer. You see it; you just don't believe it.
