A rare show for AKACOD tonight! Local vets Dana Colley, Monique Ortiz, and Larry Dersch make for a low- rock supergroup if there ever was one. Hearing former Morphine saxophonist Colley's beefy bari lines with Ortiz's glassy, heavy-groove bass and low-register croon prompts comparisons with Colley's old band. But more important is the songwriting on the trio's 2007 debut, Happiness, particularly Ortiz's distinctively dense lyrics and snaky melodies. Haunting stuff.Boston Phoenix,TopTen Bands of 2007
