Monday 2.23.09 – The Tube, 18 NW 3rd Ave, Portland, OR
Tuesday 2.24.09 – East End, 203 SE Grand, Portland, OR
Charlie Wilmoth In Dusted Reviews writes, “Extra Life’s ridiculously complex instrumental parts … are sometimes quiet, sometimes brutal, but when they’re at one extreme, there’s always the sense that the other is a possibility.”
Wilmoth goes on to say, “The thing with Extra Life is that their music is about 18 times more accomplished and complex than most math rock bands could ever hope to be. And yet their music isn’t the least bit ironic, and its complexity nearly always sounds like it’s in the service of some broader idea.”
