i'm a little boring with my life these days, but at least my music still isn't boring, maybe a little bit "2006" but that's fine.
I just really needed to mention The Go! Team. I heard about this band in early 2006 because a friend of mine had introduced me to a pretty good band (the Avalanches, good, but not good enough to mention too much right now), and after I had expressed interest he told me that he liked the Avalanches last week, but that The Go! Team was way better. Just an opinion from a friend, but it was so dead on. Listening to this band, they include any instrument you can imagine. The recordings aren't the highest quality that I've ever heard, but musically, as a rock/dance band, they're so fun, and so talented, SO complex?
So maybe May 2006, i saw this band live at a small venue in DC...it was awesome. Part of the awesomeness had to do with the awesome crowd of indie kids (mostly boys?) who showed up and danced and rocked out in the crowd (combined with a small space it was so much energy), but the band itself....Imagine a little british girl in neon attire dancing around two full drum sets, and a full band, then they pull out recorders, bells, harmonica, melodica, banjo -- it's just incredible to watch. So much energy.
BEST DESCRIBED: "a mixture of action theme songs, cheerleader chants, guitars and early hip hop, with a hint of '70s funk."
"Grip it Like Vice"
"Bottle Rocket" live! such a good display. go ninja, go
