Eight Gigs: Desario

Desario released two EPs last year, Red Returns and Haunted. Both albums are filled with tight arrangements that blend genres like shoegaze and indie rock, accented with imaginative dual guitar work and upbeat melodies. The band’s full-length, sophomore album Mixer received rave reviews, but it also inspired the group to shorten its lengthier songwriting style and create punchier tunes. With a resume that includes opening for respected acts like Echo & the Bunnymen, Foals and the likes of Johnny Marr, it’s only a matter of time before Desario is the big name on the marquee. 1901 10th Street, www.facebook.com/desarioband.
