[Jigsaws]

Okay, next album.

About - Bongo



Possibly the best Dutch album of 2006. Actually, definitely the best Dutch album of 2006. In my iLIKETRAINS review the references to other bands were numerous. About is like nothing else I've got. Maybe... they have the energy of The Thermals... the roughness of Sonic Youth... some Prodigy influences and a nice whimsical side. The only ambition About seems to have is to rock. And rock they do... do you think you can resist chanting "Rockstar boyfriend, rockstar boyfriend, we rock the microphone, 1, 2, 3, 4, what's my name..."? I doubt it.

Listen to:
Think Niles Drink.
Tough Cookie (Live)

And after you listen, go see them at SXSW or in NY.
