I checked out The Spinto Band's 2005 album, Nice and Nicely Done, on a lark, since they're opening for Art Brut on Tuesday. I'm pleasantly surprised. They remind me a lot of Imperial Teen, but without the dark, brooding sense that they're going to carve you up and throw you in a suitcase. In other words, good power-pop. I like it.
Grizzly Bear, on the other hand, loses. I got Yellow House, and I think I'd rather watch the paint dry on said house.
your blog has a new (more sanitized) name!! wow. its a new era.
ReplyDeleteYou might very well have told me about them. Disembodied band names don't have much staying power.
ReplyDeleteThe show tonight should be lots of fun.
