Live review from The Noise:

THE BLIND KING, TIGER SAW, COWGIRL HANGOVER
The Milky Way 2/6/03

...The Blind King sets up six chairs across the front of the stage. Besides the bass, guitars, and voices, they make use of a cello and a muted trumpet. Both add a nice touch to Josh Boughey's easy-going simple songs. The male/female doubled vocals become the band's signature. Josh knows how to let his melodies breathe. His soft, pretty songs are usually underpinned with sadness. The cello gets traded for a lap steel to add some new sounds and the electric guitarist does a fine job with a lot of echo on "'Til You're Gone." The line "While all the leaves are falling down/ when all the kids come back to town" reminds us that Josh's sad love song is based in Boston. "Punk Rock Dream" expresses the need to say good-bye, or that we're forced to say good-bye, to the dreams of youth. The song could be a theme for Josh, who's played in many active rock bands in his time. (T Max)
