The Wise and Kind Old Souls (wakos) have been big on the Buffalo music scene since 2005. They've already recorded an album (check it out) and now they are venturing into expressing their music in film. So many great bands have created some of my favorite documentary films (RHCP's Funky Monks, Arcade Fire's Mirror Noir) and the wakos video has a similar greatness. Working with local filmmaker, Brian Gorman, wakos members Chris Young and Kevin Crowley recorded their new track "Come into the Street" in a stairway at UB. Crowley has been rehearsing in this stairway for 8 years and when you hear the beautiful reverb and airiness created on the track you'll see why. The video is only one track of the EP they recorded in the stairway and its all captured on film to be released in the upcoming months. You can see the wakos perform live at Sonoma Grille on March 4th and McGarretts on March 25th. Until then, enjoy the video they created and keep an eye out for more. I've been told the wakos have some exciting things to bring to the local music scene in 2011.
