Friday 05.01.09: Club Underground presents THE FLASH EXPRESS / THE SHIRLEY ROLLS @ echo

The Flash Express || Listen || Watch

“What’s up with the music?” That’s a question posed by the outstanding local trio the Flash Express on its appropriately titled debut album, Introducing the Dynamite Sound of the Flash Express (Hit It Now!).

It’s a distinctly non-rhetorical question that’s posited in the similarly non-rhetorical song called “Who Stole the Soul?” Guitarist-vocalist-ringleader Brian Waters attempts to answer that titular question in the same tune: “I don’t know who stole the soul/the Flash Express gonna give it back to the people now.” Although Waters, bassist Tommy Branch, and drummer Lance Porter have been kicking around for about three years now, they still seem to be languishing in contender status. But I haven’t seen such a legit rock band working up a for-real sweat on a Hollywood stage in many a moon. It’s time for everybody to get on board and, to borrow from another song title, ride the Flash Express. – LA City Beat
