I would say that the upcoming Bleeding Rainbow show at the Mill would be a great show for a date, but the band might not appreciate that sentiment. The Philadelphia-based fuzz pop rockers previously known as Reading Rainbow recently changed their name to something that sounds more grown up and edgy.

Album Review: Huge Lewis – Ascending Into Heaven
“I have swallowed the sky/through only a straw”—the 56-second opener of Ascending Into Heaven is a quiet moment of organ and silly psychedelic lyrics that ends without resolving to the tonic. It gives no clue to the sloppy, unhinged pop songs that follow it. The rest of the songs make me think of middle period Pavement, but where Pavement grooves, Huge Lewis lurches and yelps.
