Crown Point lights up the Soiled Dove Underground
By Mike Martin
I asked for this show. A few months ago I received the six song EP ‘Wolves’ and was totally impressed. So much so that it is one of the only pop albums on my IPOD. As soon as I heard that they were touring I put the request in to see these guys.
There are some standout acts coming out of the emerging music scene in Portland, Oregon and Crown Point is one of them. As the opening act of a three act show Crown Point got the short end of the stick. They got the shortest sound check, the set was way too short and there were no keyboards or drums. Because of this the layers of sound on the EP just weren't there. Being veterans of the stage, Crown Point overcame and rolled right over anything that may have been objectionable about the set.
Using just vocals and an acoustic guitar can in many ways be relaxing. I am used to a lot of loud [music] but this was nice. I really hope that the next time I see Crown Point they are headlining with a full band. They were good this time but I bet they will be great next time.
The Underground is a cozy, intimate place to see a show. I don't think it seats more than a hundred or so. If you are from Denver, think a less crowded Comedy Works kind of place. The difference being that the Underground is newer. Not that Comedy Works isn't classy but its quite a bit more cramped. Those that want to go to the Soiled Dove Underground for a show will most likely enjoy the place. But while tickets are relatively inexpensive you may want to eat before you go…..the food is a bit pricey.
