Walter Meego & Morning Benders Thurs Oct 9th @ Crowbar

WALTER MEEGO - these dudes are THE BOMB!!! ever since i first heard "Through A Keyhole" a coupla years ago, i've been addicted to this band.
catchy, inventive, (slightly) noisy, emotive, hooky & always fun!!! (you've might've heard their single "Forever" used in a recent Heineken ad? -or- maybe you saw that they we're on tour with THE PRESETS a few months ago?) imagine the best elements of that big room Blog House sound mixed with your favorite Indie Rock... and you'll be on the right track.
definitely recommended for fans of Pop, DAFT PUNK, House, HOT CHIP, Electronica, AIR, Indie Rock, GARY NUMAN, THE BEATLES, JUNIOR BOYS, etc.
anyway - I LOVE THIS BAND & i'm sure you will too if you give them a listen.


THE MORNING BENDERS - WOW! i had never heard of these dudes until i saw that they were on tour with the Meegos & Ra Ra Riot. boy am i glad i did.
kick-butt, sunny Indie Pop that fans of THE SHINS, DR DOG, THE LITTLE ONES, BEACH BOYS, etc will go NUTS for.
recently did a tour in support of THE KOOKS & have also played w/ MGMT, YEASAYER, YO LA TENGO, etc.
if you like infectious, well-crafted Indie-Pop - you're gonna FREAK ON these guys.

Always a damn good time to play at Yeomans and we have one our favorite artists in the bay area alongside that will get things started off around 10 playing a nice chunky set of his latin-infused jazz/rock/soul stylings. PnL will go on around midnight and play until whenever they kick us out, there will be a small tribute to the late Richard Wright at the end of the night that should not be missed. See us there
