Hollow Boys' new mini-LP, When You Think of Us, Pray For Us, has a happenstance title. The message was inside a card that fell out of one of Ali's records, and it solidifies the natural manner in which this band has come together.

The trio is still relatively new on the local circuit, but their appeal has had an immediate effect. Lyrics rooted in sinister introspection and layers that transform into an impression of hope and redemption is difficult to pull off. But Hollow Boys know what sound they want and how to do it with ease.

Songs performed: "Lovers Rock," "Temptation" and "Blinding Light"
