See, there's more to Iceland than Bjork and Michael V vacation spots -- there's Jeff Who?, a decent-enough band of suddently-dancey indie rock misfits who just happen to be in town tonight. A few years ago I bought their album in some shop in Reykjavik, which I think was called "Death Before Disco" (they were just rock-ish then, and now they're "dancerock," so I guess revisionist history dubs this title ironic). Anyway, I emailed them, saying they should be in touch if they ever hit Boston. THEY NEVER RESPONDED. And now they're playing Felt, the most deplorable un-hip place in town. Have fun with those $15 cocktails and Drakkar-drenched date-rapists, lads! And let this be a LESSON to all.
That said, their new single "The Great Scape" is pretty good (if not entirely trendy as fuck) and I liked the song from the video below, off "DBD". But... FELT?!?!! Really dudes? Shoulda been'n touch. I wouldn't even dar writing about -- let alone attending -- a live show at Felt.
Hi Michael, its baddi from jeff who? Just wanted to say sorry we didnt respond to your email, i would have answered if i had gotten it :) but funny thing, i was just googling where we played that time cause ive never felt as out of place as in there...and since im in boston i wanted to sjow my girlfriend the place...anyway, hope last 7 years have been fruitful :)
