I lived two blocks away from this killer venue last year where I got turned on to all likes of new music. The Spring Standards, indy folkheads outta Manhatten, are a fine example. I really really loved them live--it was spring, fittingly, when I saw them and their music was upbeat and chirpy and insturmentally full, but with that emotional-dark around the edges that folk influence so often ensures. And they were good performers, entertaining which if I am seeing a band rather than a singer/songwriter is pretty important to me. Their 2008 EP No One Will Know was a regular play in my car last year, they've released a full-length since but I've not gotten my mits on it just yet. They are playing again this weekend at the same killer venue, and my buddy Sam gets to open for them. Sweet.
