How About Banana?

The South Florida rockers of Nothing Rhymes with Orange will perform tonight at 9:30 in support of their new album, Hello Mysterious. The group’s blend of catchy indie rock is a testament to the Eighties Euro bands that influenced it, including U2 and Echo and the Bunnymen. Tracks such as “Kill the Vibe” resound with an infectious dance appeal that promises to be an instant indie-nightclub anthem. But it is not just the absorbing guitar riffs and melodic sounds that capture audiences; the quartet has a knack for writing puzzling yet poetic lyrics. “Don’t Fly Like a Ghost” plays with pleasing rhymes that roll off the tongue with verses like “So what now, there is no play-by-play/Ricochet, no sign of foreplay/Only ragged lingerie.” The show goes down at Miami’s newest rock venue, T Bird Studios, and admission is five dollars.
