Boise, Idaho might not be a hot spot for indie rock, but A Rotterdam November is creating a scene with headlining shows and support slots when national acts swing through town. Between the group's melodic sensibility and mature songcraft, these guys could follow in the major label footsteps of recent bill mates like Downhere, The Afters, and Disciple.
