Because Fridays were made for parties!
Yes, it's that time again. And what better way to get ready for the weekend than listen to some fun music?I thought so.
This band is one that WDR has been a fan of since before we even knew what their name was. Nic and I were at a Modest Mouse show at the Crystal Ballroom, and we were amazed at what we saw: A three-piece band with one guy on bass, one guy on drums, and another guy on keyboards, vocals AND baritone saxophone. We only caught the end of their set, but we were amazed. We wanted them to come back and play more, but instead some really mediocre band played what sounded like the same song about eight times. Then Modest Mouse came on and were awesome (and piss drunk), but I probably didn't need to tell you that part.
Some time later, we discovered the band was called Menomena (not to be confused with this "menomena"). Once we heard some of their album work, we were not disappointed. These guys get the job done and get it done right.
There are a few videos by these guys that are a lot of fun. I'm going to post the goofiest one for you to watch (above), but I'll link up another awesome one here. What better way to celebrate the year's extra day than screwing around on YouTube?
