Oh cute.

Oh cute.
Eyes Lips Eyes – Sunday, July 31 Pretty decent ultra-dancy semi-Strokesish LA band Eyes Lips Eyes is worth a listen. They blend elements of the Smiths with the Beatles and Interpol with the Strokes. Could definitely turn out to be a bad thing… but they do it with some chillery. There’s nothing too pushy about it. It’s an upper and a downer… speedballin’, if you will. Included with this message is a video of still shots of the band jumping so it makes them look like they are flying around in the air. Clever.
