Perfect People

Things have been rather hectic of late, which is something I feel like I've been saying a lot. I spent a week in England going to gigs and attended the Great Escape. Last year I saw the Clik Clik, and this year the band that rose from their ashes played, Perfect People. Now, I am not going to bore you with stories about how hardcore I am and how I stayed up to all hours of the night because basically all of that will be a lie. I had a chance to see Perfect People, but their 12.30 am set time not only conflicted with the end of Pulled Apart By Horses's set, but also my bed time. Next time, yeah?

Perfect People blazes similar sonic trails as the Clik Clik, but with more Ben Folds-inspired pop and less electronics. It's excellent stuff though and a great start for these music vets that are still quite young.

Another good band has split. From their Facebook:

Hey guys,

After much fun and laughter has been had with The Clik Clik we've decided to call it a day. We've all had a great time but just feel that it's time to try something different. You've all been amazing fans to us and we hope you've enjoyed the ride because we certainly have!

We'll be in contact with you all soon about what our future plans
are but until then, thank you very much!

Luckily we got to see them at the Great Escape this year!

Let's hope they have some more good music in them.

Yet another video I missed when it premiered, perhaps I need to join more mailing lists or something. When I saw these guys play at this year's Great Escape, the most surprisingly thing was how young they looked. I knew they were young and all, but to see it in person was pretty surprising. Regardless, the band knows their stuff and proved it over and over that night. I believe this is the band's second single. Be sure to listen to all of their tunes on Myspace -- they hint at many good things to come.
