You're going to have to wait until tonight for The Vega Star's live performance and "The Night" CD release party but a sneak peak at the album reveals a masterful flow from start to finish.

It's honestly a struggle to describe The Vega Star's sound. Undeniably dark, but not for the broken hearted or the self loathsome. There is profound depth to the album's ballad like sound but Rolbiecki's vocals induce self reflection more so than self-repudiation. The album has inherent intensity in tone and melody that adds intellectual weight to forthright lyrics.

It's as if the band took pieces of folk, alternative, bluegrass and rock; melding a sound both indescribably unusual and assuredly familiar. The album plays a familiarity impossible to place but the complexity of each song is alluringly addictive.

Song titles like "The Error," "The Wicked," and "The Collector" mask complexity with simplicity; something that band members Justin Rolbiecki, Jackson Messner, John Juchemich and Stephen DeLassus continuously master with instrumentation.

Join the party tonight at the Cactus Club. Show starts at 9:30 p.m. with openers Sleep Out, Pezzetino and Moon High.
