Sounds LikeFor those wishing to party like it's 1993 comes Abbot Kinney, a new band that (despite its ocean-side name) has been making waves on the East LA circuit for a while now. Their sound is unique to the Angelino scene; belonging neither with the art rockers emerging from downtown, nor the easygoing hipsters of Silverlake. Despite the fact that the 80s revival is somehow still trucking (The Killers, Crystal Castles), with a step back to the psychedelic 70s on its tail (MGMT, Beach House), Abbot Kinney has decided to move the jam session forward a few years. The band invokes a sound that culls from early 90s college radio, with The Pixies and "Pablo Honey" era Radiohead as specific influences, though the guys could hardly be called a throwback group, as they check the irony and self-sympathy of Generation X at the door. In its place is an Obama-era (an awesome and only slightly cloying thing to type) earnestness that showcases "emotion", while never succumbing to that word's first three letters. The band has thus far released a small batch of demos, which, while not yet polished, have still presented a wide variety of sounds and a startling maturity for such a new band. No EP is available for wide distribution, but you can check out some of the band's songs right HERE, and I'm sure you'll be hearing a lot more from them right here in the near future." ................................................................................................................... - http://sharkparty.blogspot.com/

Yay!
I'm glad you guys added me!
Now that I'm 21 it will be easier to come see you guys play!
It was much fun playing 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon (I'm still kind of upset I didn't win but I have to give props to Danielle).
Hope you guys are well!
