Our thoughts: Legends (Lewiston ME)

May 14, 2005

w/Hushed, Ransom & Soundbender

Saturday night’s show at Legends in Lewiston was another smoker. Despite not being a “local” band, we managed to have a good sized crowd watching, many of whom were right up in front of the stage. Hushed, who also performed, were absolutely mesmerizing with their atmospheric material and dazzling light show. Seeing them is truly “an experience”. On the more straightforward front, Ransom and Soundbender played very professional and commercially oriented sets, with polished vocals and tight arrangements. All in all, a great night. Legends is the best stage in Maine, IMO, and I hope Portland bands (and music fans) start flocking to it in droves.
