Brooklyn "Surf Rock." What a bunch of weird dudes. The singer is from the group Elkland, which was an electronica outfit, and then they went to this stuff. Still pretty fun.
Also, got to see Surfer Blood last night, and it was honestly one of the best shows I've ever been to. I've watched plenty of videos of them playing online where they sounded mildly disappointing. But whatever they had going for them last night, it was going strong, and they sounded fucking amazing. I had to pay twice face value for the tickets, but whatever, it was definitely worth it.
They played a version of this song with a like 5 minute solo section where the guitarist soloed with a drumstick. As lame as that sounds, it wasn't. It was great. It's also my favorite song from the album, and it also probably has been posted here already, but whatever.
*Replaced old video with a great live version.
