Chicago band rocks Ukrainian Sunflower Festival...

but sadly not many people were in the crowd at the time when Ephyra played. I guess it's hard for a rock band to follow traditional Ukrainian dance ensemble Hromovytsia (also from Chicago) at a festival where attendees are hungry for high kicks, fast spins, and holubtsi rather than loud guitars and heavy hitting drums, even when the lyrics are sung in Ukrainian. Sorry for the lame crowd, guys. The lack of audience sure did confuse me because there seemed to be lots of teens, 20- and 30-somethings in the crowd when Hromovytsia danced. Not sure where they all went while you were setting up! (Maybe the cheesy vocal-twins that warmed up for you scared them off??) I loved your driving bass lines, but would have preferred a little more emotion on stage. Please come back to Detroit sometime and play a club or hall show.
