Au Revoir Simone
gentle floaty soothing poetic sound
Two years ago I was visiting my friend Channing in New York and saw her band, The Somnambulants play at Piano's. Channing and I grew up together in Salt Lake -- we were very different people who hung out with very different groups, but it didn't matter. We got along great. She's in San Francisco now. We have the craziest timing sometimes... ending up visiting Salt Lake the same weeks..... hopefully we can meet up soon.... but I digress:
Two other bands played at Pianos that night: Boyskout and Au Revoir Simone. I loved the whole night. Each band was so different, yet SO great. Somanbulants are electronica, Boyskout is a bit 80s rocky and Au Revoir Simone is gentle and melodic and harmonious. It was a neat mix. And everyone that I met from the bands were so cool.
I love Grey's Anatomy. And this morning I started watching the two-hour season finale that I'd DVR'd. I'm sitting there, watching and working on a database schema when suddenly I stopped. And listened. "I recognize this." "How do I know this." "Is this?..." "Damn, what's their name." And I found them. And it was!
for those of ou who are of the tv-watching persuasion, "through the backyards" will be broadcast on the program "grey's anatomy" on monday, may 15 at 9pm on ABC.
You can Download the MP3 of "Through the Backyards of our Neighbors" or you can listen to that and more on their myspace page. Check them out! They're opening for We Are Scientists at the TLA next month.
