Tulsa, an exciting new shoegazer band from Boston, played the final night of their Piano's residency last Saturday night.

The musicianship of the band really impressed me as, for being just a 3-piece band, they were able to build a wave of sounds that was comparable to My Bloody Valentine or the mellower side of Jesus & Mary Chain. I have been listening to some advance tracks from the band's upcoming EP and the band captures a lot of this energy in the studio as well.

The band's live show has been getting great reviews from the press. Boston Phoenix recently hailed Tulsa as "the best rock band in Boston. Their combination of songwriting and musicianship and an eargasm of a sound rendered jaws unfunctional." The band has also gotten good write-ups from CMJ and Chicago Sun-Times.

The band's debut EP, "I Was Submerged", will be released October 9th on Park the Van. Check out the first video "Shaker" from this release (Director: Marshall Johnson).
