Last month the LA based band Cherry Glazerr released, Stuffed & Ready their much anticipated third album. Then they did what bands tend to do, they hit the road on tour in support of their new album.

Starting with the mellow sounds of Palehound, the Sunday night show slowly but steadily filled to the expected intimacy of a sold-out show. Opening for Cherry Glazerr since the start of the tour in February, Boston's Palehound played a longer, 45 minute opening set in SF. Except for a couple quick, bashful words from lead singer Ellen Kempner, they kept to themselves, playing their music in the murky club lighting.

The anticipation in the air came to ahead around 9:30 when Clementine Creevy and the rest of Cherry Glazerr behind her started their set. They're back down to a three piece after synth player Sasami Ashworth bowed out to go solo last year. Fans at The Independent saw Creevy holding it down on vocals and guitar, Tabor Allen on drums and Devin O'Brien on bass.

They opened with "Ohio" the first song off of Stuffed & Ready. The song walks the fine line between hard and vulnerable with an upbeat energy (as far as indie music goes). A good recipe for a set topper.

As a whole, the new album offers a softer sound than previous releases from the grungy, indie-rock band with more of a fuzzy reverb and those breathless vocals from Creevy in conjunction with bouts that have her shouting. Like with the openers, the venue remained dimly lit and the addition of swirling lights made the music from Cherry Glazerr almost hypnotic, like one might find themselves feeling at a psychedelic rock show.

They played a lot of new stuff like "Wasted Nun", "Juicy Socks", "Dadddi" and "Stupid Fish" along with some of oldies but goodies, like "Trash People", the instrumental "Apocalipstick" and one of my personal faves "Grilled Cheese" (apparently a song written when Creevy was hungry).
There was no moshing or thrashing of any sort in the crowd and things remained pretty low key on stage as well for the hour or so that they played. After 18 songs, their set came to an end with their classic, guitar lick rich, girl power, head banging anthem "Told You I'd Be with the Guys".
