The Shaky Hands Shake Things Up
There was once a great mp3 blog called "Indie Don't Dance". The site was run by a teacher in training. I loved her selection of music and her joie de vivre. It's defunct now. I think she moved away and got a good job (the deathnell to any great mp3 blogger). But I still think about that title now and then and how apropos it is to the indie rock world. The Portland based band, The Shaky Hands, have just got to make the kids move their feet, but from the looks of their clever little video for the song "Why and How Come" it's still a constant battle, even for them. I love the bit with the cell phones. That's so true. At Amy Winehouse there were little orbs of light aglow throughout the theater, casting everyone in an erie orb of blueish light. Here's the video:
The band is in Chicago for the first time this Tuesday playing The Note. They'll be playing songs from their debut record The Shaky Hands (Holoscene Music). I wish we'd solve the comments issue here at Transmission. If you could comment I would defy you not to love these songs. Oh yeah, if you go to the show please be the one dancing up front.
