Genuine, pretty-much perfect indie rock. So surprised these guys haven’t had that much commercial success! Saw them open for Moon Hooch recently, and they blew us away. They’re a kitschy indie rock group out of Michigan with weird outfits and pretty hooks. The lead singer started making music while playing this old organ he has back home. They’re a septet with a sax, keys, and more, leading to a very full sound. All of this is super radio-ready and great for a pop-rock set.
