New band now, event recap later.

I've been obsessing over this band all week (I found them on Monday) and can't keep them to myself any longer. After compulsively listening to their limited available recordings (they have yet to release a full length album from what I can tell) non-stop for the past week, I feel obligated to spread their word. To you, my most esteemed friends and acquaintances, I present: Neat People. And trust me, these kids really are Neat People indeed. One of the few bands that met and formed completely in music college, these boys seem to have figured out the recipe for pop (yes I said pop, but they know it and accept it too so it's ok) success. Recently featured on The Fake DIY as one of the rare 'good' (no offense) myspace finds, Neat People comes the closest to filling the Blur void that I know we've all felt (oh Damon and Grahm). With catchy melodies, and a unique mastery of addicting and complex lyrical rhythms, Neat People prove themselves to be worthy of true stardom. Give 'um a spin.

I'm also going to see Slava's Snowshow tonight. I'll let you know how that goes. I'm excited.
