Music INSIGHT
Behind their likable eccentricity is a musician’s band, using odd time signatures,
dropping beats in some places and adding them in others, making measures that
have unusual stops and starts. An assembled piece still sounds like continuous music, but the engineering behind any given
song's structure is like candy for music
geeks. The only minor issue the band has
seen is uncertain dancing as the audience
tries to find the rhythm.
"Our favorite responses come from drunk
people; a lot of people, when they listen to
us, don't know how to move to it," said Adams. "Drunk people don't care about time
signatures, they just keep dancing."
Pace House’s music seems to have caught
on with a variety of audiences, with crossover appeal to other genres that appreci
ate complicated music, like metal fans, as
evidenced by shows sharing the stage with
bands like Anniston’s VEDA.
"People that aren't into weird bands enjoy
us, too," said Adams.
Costa offers a wry grin in response, saying
"It's because we still try to sound good.”
The band’s addictive quality led to joining
forces with band manager Tom Potts, of Anniston’s Potts Marketing Group, who says
the the band makes waves wherever they
go, and only needed to be seen by more
people to find continued success.
"When you have a love of music, to find
an entity or group or performer who has a
whole lot of promise and just needs exposure to get to the next level, it's exciting,"
said Potts.
