I caught them at a show in Detroit as the opening act for a show the recently re-formed Pretty Things played here in Michigan. Hadn't heard them up to that point, though I did quite dig the sound they were cranking out. A nice stripped down and energetic mix of '60's garage and rockabilly to my ears (for this particular gig anyway). It's funny seeing all the hype surrounding them at this point, although I imagine I should try checking them out a little more closely.
Anyone familiar with "White Stripes" ???
I keep hearing one of their tunes on the radio ( Fell in love with a girl ). It does not sound like the typical "alterna-metali-pap*" that some of the local stations typically play. As such, it did not seem to blend in that well and really caught my ear.
As soon as it started, i instantly pictured the Davies brothers ( aka The Kinks ) going of on one of their high energy rampages like back in "da old days". If someone would have told me that it was an old Kinks tune, i would have had no problem believing them.
With that in mind, does anybody know anything about this band ? Where are they from, how many albums, how is the rest of the album that this song came from, etc... ??? Are they worth checking out ??? Sean
