Holeeeeee shit. These guys are awesome. I decided to check them out when the write up described them as new wave/soul and referenced LCD Soundsystem. But judging from their live show, that really doesn't do them justice. They are soulful, funky indie rock. And somehow they prove that isn't an oxymoron. They have a great live show that's full of energy with a back beat to move your ass. To give you an idea, it even got the bearded hipsters dancing spastically (yes, I felt at home), even the ones towards the back. And like a good soul band, their live show is tight. For all the wailing and pounding, they still stop and start on a dime. Check their site and make sure they are coming to your city. You need to see them. They'll be your new favorite band. Or at least you'll know what I like.
