Press Reviews RaleighRhythms July 23, 2003 Grand Piano ... Rising If the band name Grand Piano Falling conjures up images of emo and screamo acts with vocabularies too large for songwriting and emotions too obsessive to do without medication for extended periods, forget the idea faster than you can say "Dashboard Confessional sucks more than an Electrolux." Grand Piano Falling --a Raleigh five-piece of four teens and a 20-year-old who met at Leesville Road--thankfully eschews the whole crying gig for cerebral anthem rock centered around climaxing Modest Mouse beats, an intricate three-guitar attack and earnest teenage songwriting that looks at the whole heartbreak thing with a convincing dose of maturity and disdain. In the past year alone, the band has played some 50 shows in the area following their uncertain debut at First Night Raleigh in 2002. "We had been playing and practicing and keeping it all to ourselves for a long time, so we just decided to try out for this competition Dance Party thing at First Night. We tied for the top spot, but they gave it to the other band," drummer Matt Daley laughs. "Then we started to worry what we would do if they called us back the next year, so we started really concentrating." Picking up dates with locals like End of the Affair and Vibrant Green, the boys began to gain quite a following as a buzz started to spread about their live work. Their mercurial frontman, the kinetic Kile Blair, began to spark immediate attention with his Thom Yorke stage antics and Cinjun Tate vocals, and the stellar, incredibly smart guitar work shocked many first-time listeners. Take notice: These guys are good. Grand Piano Falling is now anxiously awaiting their second studio date with Jerry Kee at Duck Kee Studios in Mebane and is eagerly looking for more chances to play Triangle clubs.
