Dig it. The Cars ALL NEW album (their first in 24 years!) is due out in May. Their small North American tour (that I probably can’t afford) is only getting as close to Indy as Chicago- although it is at the Riviera, which is a great small venue to see a show at.
So much good stuff is happening in music right now, both locally and nationally! I’ve gotta stop buying concert tickets or I’m going to miss a mortgage payment…
Good work to Jackie and Sergi for finding this chunk of awesome. I think my exact quote when I first heard this one was, “It’s like Napolean Dynamite and The Strokes had a baby!”
Enjoy.
Beautiful.
