Blowfish...
    Wednesday at Great Scotts had plenty of people, or students to be exact. They are hanging out and drinking. Scotts got a good thing going if they can fill up a Wednesday night mid winter.
    The Shills are a strange sort. They play wonderfully and their vocals with harmonies are spot on pitch. The set is very tight and the songs are detailed and get intense and emotional. Yet, I have to complain. It didn't move me. They are hard to peg as far as a genre goes. They list The Smiths, Bowie, Springsteen, The Libertines, Queen, Pulp, and The Clash as influences but I didn't hear any of that myself. The crowd liked them a lot. I'll leave it at that.
