You know that moment when you hear a single song from a band and you know you're going to love them forever and ever and ever? That happened to me the first time I heard "Let's Go Surfing" from The Drums, off their self-titled debut. These guys kick out some seriously catchy pop beats, complete with squee-worthy vocals, and bouncy bouncy goodness.
My boy bought me a copy of their new album, Portamento, recently, and guess what? It's just as good as the first one, and just as dance-party worthy. So it is with HIGH fangirl appreciation that I recommend you get yourselves to The Crocodile tomorrow night {Wednesday, 10/12} to see these boys rock the stage with their awesomeness....and don't forget to wear your dancin' shoes.

Also got there in time to see one of the openers Veronica Falls. They had a nice twee male/female vocal quality that I really enjoyed. Sort like the Vaselines, but lyrically a little darker. I recognized one song I like that they played (I had to look it up today) called "Found Love in a Graveyard". I had heard this song before but had no idea they were the ones who sing it. What a nice surprise!
So all in all, a very rewarding and fun show. Although next time Drums, just add your surf jam to the set list!

Yay! Thanks for the report, John!!! I would've been there, but I was celebrating my 5-year Anniversary with a fancy meal out instead. :) Next time, for sure.
