Le Royale: There are about eight bands paying there tonight and though I’m not sure who goes on when, I bring your attention once again to The Postelles–just returned from playing Lallapalooza–whose 50’s-60’s-inspired pop rock tunes stand out for sounding so much like the real thing that it’s impossible not to enjoy. All four members have the style down, but it makes hell lot of a difference that singer Daniel Balk sounds like a boy right out of that era. I’m equally into Charlie Klarsfeld’s The Americans, who also draw heavily from that same bygone, fruitful time, but the style here is decidedly R&B, complete with claps, piano and horns. Joining these two is Samuel (amongst many others?), who prefers the more modern affiliation with electronica, and who, it is said, will play with a new live band.
Two gorgeous ladies, more great bands, and all mp3 links after the jump.
Hurray for Passion Pit’s four-week residency kicking off at Pianos tonight. There’s going to be a lot of basic, pleasant pop rock there, except for Murray Flexor whose electronica would seem slightly out of place if it weren’t for Passion Pit’s own gadgetry. UK’s Sky Larkin will play an early set, and joining them are TheToothaches and You Can Be a Wesley.
