TDCC is 10 years old, well their first EP is, and they've just released it online for the first time. Consequently, I just heard "Standing On Ghosts" for the first time and, yep! It sounds like early TDCC ("Cigarettes in the Theatre" is also on this EP). What surprised me more than a little bit was learning the Irish boys were just 16 when this came out. So they were, like, 15 when they formed the band?? And were bang on this good??
She-Devils - The World Laughs
Montreal duo She-Devils have a dreamy, U.S. 60's psychedelic-meets-80's U.K. shoegaze that is perfectly mid-oughts indie. I was hoping they'd pop up at SXSW but they're not on any official lists I've seen. Still, a lot of the states (and some of their native Cananda) can catch them on tour this spring.

Upcoming Shows
Franz Ferdinand - Lazy Boy
Today's Most Important is an ode to being happily lazy because we had a VERY busy day yesterday and are doing nothing but laze today and it feels good. Speaking of lazy (not really a great segue but) I didn't even realize Franz Ferdinand were still making music. I kinda only knew "Take Me Out" until recently. Totally lame to admit though, as Wikipedia schools me they've been consistently releasing albums (last week's Always Ascending is their fifth) and even participated in a big, anti-Trump, 50-song promo in 2016. Whoops, my bad, but still somehow I was excited when I started hearing tracks from this album and found out they're touring here this May. Anyways, hope y'all are enjoying your Sunday in whatever way feels good to you.
