I heard <i>about</i> them through the blogs and such and then I actually <i>heard</i> them on SNL. I went and bought the album. I REALLY LIKE IT. Any thoughts? 2008-03-10T23:35:17-04:00 16 2008-03-10T00:18:40-04:00 true 0 1793 false false 1993 245 1 2009-11-21T17:33:42-05:00 420 ah yeah. They're probably one of my favorite bands at the moment. Haven't bought the whole album yet though, i've just acquired the majority of it from blogs and itunes. I'm bummed that their LA show is sold out. I really wanted to see them live. 1793 Post 2008-03-10T00:26:22-04:00 46420 2814 2008-03-10T00:26:22-04:00 i like what i've heard of them. i've been trying to broaden my musical horizons. 1793 Post 2008-03-10T00:26:59-04:00 46421 1815 2008-03-10T00:26:59-04:00 oh yeah! we saw them on SNL last night and like them a lot. I liked their style too, the singer was dressed like the asshole rich kid from an 80's movie or Talking Heads or something. I didn't like their second song as much though, but I'm glad they played another. 1793 Post 2008-03-10T00:34:39-04:00 46429 2330 2008-03-10T14:04:45-04:00 <blockquote><cite>JustDandy said:</cite> ah yeah.

It reminds me of the first 2 Police albums or late Kinks. Good stuff. 1793 Post 2008-03-10T00:38:45-04:00 46434 1661 2008-03-10T00:38:45-04:00 <blockquote><cite>Pearls To Pigs said:</cite> i like what i've heard of them.</blockquote> ditto. 1793 Post 2008-03-10T01:03:22-04:00 46444 884 2008-03-10T01:03:22-04:00 Haha weird.

They were actually supposed to open up for the Walkmen at my family's venue on this past Saturday, but they cancelled on us at the last minute to be on SNL. Who could blame them though? It's all good though, they rescheduled for June and they'll probably be even bigger by then. 1793 Post 2008-03-10T09:50:43-04:00 46534 1612 2008-03-10T09:50:43-04:00 i like that band a lot. a big paul simon influence in there I think. 1793 Post 2008-03-10T10:10:37-04:00 46541 716 2008-03-10T10:10:37-04:00 <blockquote><cite>jimmyheartcore said:</cite> It's pretty good - I think they're kind of beatlish/policeish.

You can probably still find them on the site, but I didn't check. 1793 Post 2008-03-10T23:35:17-04:00 46939 1993 2008-03-10T23:35:17-04:00
