I am fairly open to most music - I don't tend to hate entire genres (ok, except country and Christian rock, which is really quite funny, since my first few concerts were Michael W Smith, but then I saw Violent Femmes with my cousin and my life was forever changed.) Anyway, I tend to gravitate to those bands one might call "alternative," The Pixies and Nine Inch Nails and whatnot, and do you really tend to find great new bands by listening to NPR, my usual driving soundtrack?
Hell Yes!
Tank and The Bangas is a band out of New Orleans, and they blend funk and R&B and jazz, and they make me so happy.
This is called "Quick", and it is my favorite of the songs they've done, but it's so very good. Always give me a sic bass line.
Let's now discuss Chicano Batman - this groovy alternative Los Angeles band with a political bent. How have I never heard of these guys?
