Pedestrian @ NXNE 2006

Background/Composition: Pedestrian are an atmospheric rock type band with a harder edge. Their do fast paced tunes and slower poetic pieces.

Grade: 65

Comment: Pedestrian were neither a fantastic tell-all-your-friends type of band, nor were they that terrible. They're somewhere in between rock and suck purgatory.

Strengths/Weaknesses/NextStep: Either Pedestrian didn't care for the audience at The Black Bull or they were just shy, because they talked to the crowd only a handful of times. Looking rather awkward on stage, my guess is that shyness got in the way of some really good banter.
