Super Love Attack
@ Six Flags
 2004

Here's a new band out of Denton that brings a melodic/space/rock sound to
the scene. The band is made up of Alex, Christy, Mark and Ryan. They haven't
been together very long, but I think in time they will be a solid band.

They started out with Mark, the guitarist, on vocals. He has a high pitched
singing style that caught my attention right off. The third song of the set
was by far my favorite. It was a nice little tune called "Gone". With lyrics
like "I've got tears, but I'm not sad" it was heartfelt and somber. I did
notice some crowd appreciation early in this song. It featured a nice
psychedelic intro by Christy on keyboards. Another song that received crowd
applause was "Desert Song". I appreciated the guitar effort by Mark on this
one. It came complete with a wailing vocal scream that really stood out.
"Starmice", in my opinion, showcased Alex, on drums, better than any other
song. The best effort by Ryan, on bass, came during the final song, "Alien".
This little number was a haunting melody with Mark weeping the lyrics and
Christy crying the backing vocals.

Fun, non-musical questions:
