no

listen to Mates of State instead, I think that's who they sound like anyway. Plus, there's 1/5 the members. Having 10 people in your band is more like a marching band than a rock band. Do they march?

I agree. A band with 10 members all need matching  outfits....with hats

Also check out Via Audio if you're into bands like MoS and the one you posted.

If it helps--they're one of Chris Walla's favorite bands : )

I'm thinking that, from now on, everything that ever happens needs to eventually make its way back to Annie Clark...

Is it gay if I think that her hair is nothing short of incredible?

P.S. How freaking weird would it be if she caught wind of our board's small obsession with her pulchritude? I think that'd be really weird, to find out that a small community of people think that you're really damn beautiful. Like, hauntingly beautiful.

The 25-year-old is an avid tea drinker, used to hair model, and feels uncomfortable when people use the term, "let's pull the trigger on this."

Pretty sure that says "St. Vincent wants Kaley to nest in her hair", or something along those lines.

Actually Kaley, I'm pretty sure that "misericordine caritatisque" is Sanskrit for Tom Eisenbraun and "potrono confide" is either "Will you marry me?" or uhh... best left to the imagination?

But dude, you could totally nest in that hair while we're...getting married?

You know what, I'd be okay with that.

So, I kinda (read: really) like their new song.  BUT THAT'S IT.

"Drinking Games" is the one.  Tell me it's a great song and I'm not blinded by quirkiness and SK-pride.  Please?

They won me over.  Aside from a trite Neutral Milk Hotel cover, the show was impeccable.  I left with their EP in my hand and a smile on my face.  Damnit.  

So many cute girls.


Yes, I realize nobody cares, but that's not going to stop me from posting in my own thread.
