The High Strung. Real Nice Boy.

I first heard Detroit's The High Strung play on Pandora.  The song was She's Not Even Mad at You, and from that first time on every single time it played I would stop what I was doing and listen.  Soon enough I found them on Myspace and started listening to them pretty regularly.  That was the beginning of my mild obsession with contemporary indie bands with that sixties pre-punk garage-band sound.  I love them.  This youtube clip is a great song off their 2003 release These Are Good Times.  They once did a library tour. That's right, public library gigs.  There's a nine minute you-tube video of them, in fact, playing the public library in San Fran.  BTW, according to Wikipedia, they left the van that they drove for that tour on the steps of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...
