...showing promoters that you’re good and that you have a following,” he says. Blanks.’ did not seem affected by the crowd’s reticence and they launched into their set.They played with their usual blend of disco backbeats and angular rock progressions. Long Le-Khac ’06 laid down a nimble bass line, Drake rode the cymbals to high heaven, Jon H. Carter ’06 deftly fingered twisting guitar lines, and Boch stole the show with loopy vocals and wild facial expressions.As good as they were...

Indeed, everything about the new Si appears more aggressive, from the wider body stance to the lower suspension, angular headlights and larger exhaust. Honda didn't skimp on the performance technology either, including a limited-slip differential, double-wishbone rear suspension, front and rear disc brakes and electronic brake distribution?all standard equipment.
