These guys are great. They make the Arctic Monkey's tunes seem hookless and whimless (is that a word). All of their songs are so full of whit and tell a story of what I could only imagine i
t must be like to be a young twenty something who likes to party in the UK... but without really getting invited to the cool party or hang with the hot girls or really party at all. Just kinda find your own fun where there is a bar. The first time I found these guys was at SXSW 2006 when I came across them one afternoon by total accident. I have pretty much been a fan since. How can you not love a line like, "lets dance to Joy Division and celebrate the irony."?
They will be back in New York at the beginning of June at the Blender Theater and I think you should check it out.
Random Non-Music Related High Point.
I got to the Annex about 2 hours before show time and there was already a long line. My girlfriend didn't have a ticket. Then when we finally got tot he front of the line to give tickets (that we didn't have), I found out that Simon the band's manager gave me a +1... thanks buddy!
ps. this post is a month late... sorry!
