The Herald's Music Section is "buzzing" about local Boston band Furvis, who played with a certain Sox lefty at the Hot Stove/Cool Music concert:
The
guys in Furvis don’t play out very much. They’ve yet to go on a proper
tour. They’ve only released one recording, a little-publicized EP that
saw only 1,200 pressings.
Yet Furvis just may be the most buzzed-about rock band in Boston.
How is this possible?
Don’t
ask the band. The Newton-reared foursome, which plays Great Scott
tomorrow, is as mystified about its growing buzz as anyone.
‘‘To
be honest, people say there’s a buzz, but we’re actually kind of
nervous about this show,” singer/guitarist Michael Ian said. ‘‘We have
no idea how many people we can draw. No gauge on how people perceive
us, if we’re cool or lame. It’s totally word-of-mouth, mostly just from
the live shows we’ve played in the last four months.”
One of those shows
included rocking out with Sox pitcher Lenny DiNardo at the last
star-studded Hot Stove, Cool Music benefit. Bolstering their
next-big-thing status was getting a song added to the playlist of one
of the most influential college radio stations in the country,
Seattle’s KEXP-FM (104.1). Not bad for a band that, placing third in
theWBCN-FM (104.1) Rumble aside, hasn’t really done anything yet.
