I was just about to write a piece about Colin Clary and the Magogs when I noticed they're not on the bill for the New England Popfest after all. Crap! I had them sign their cd last time, and promply lost it somewhere in Boston, so I was going to make up for that this time. But every cloud has a silver lining they say, and we'll be seeing Colin in his tattered sweater with his childish grin in his other band, The Smittens.
To quite their webpage:
The Smittens are a six-piece indiepop band from Burlington , Vermont and a DIY twee pop explosion. Formed in 2002, The Smittens have been winning the hearts and minds of indiepop fans and discerning critics in the U.S. and abroad with an impressive and rapidly expanding catalog of fresh and fancy bubblegum-inspired revolutionary twee pop. Accomplished songsmiths all, the six Smittens Max Andrucki, Colin Clary, Dana Kaplan, Holly Chagnon, David Zacharis and our newest member Emily Hilliard - switch up instruments and song-writing to create brilliantly lyrical and hyper-catchy pop songs of all colors, shapes and sizes. The band's third album 'Pop Your Heart' will be out in winter, 2006, on Athens, Georgia's indie institution Happy Happy Birthday To Me.
And since I, like Tom, have little time these days to say anything intelligent, here are some songs for ya all:
The Smittens - Doomed, Lo-fi and in Love
The Smittens - Party Time
The Smittens - The Garden
The Smittens - Momus, where are you
