I first saw The Cults up in Cleveland with Maps & Atlases last autumn. They were not as engaging as I would have liked, and their music sounded just a little too hollow for me to get into. Vocals weren’t great live. I think this track sounds extra-beachy and since I’m dying for summer, here ya go.
Had to edit – “Make Time” got dropped. Less beachy…

Mandatory statement of unannounced hiatus.
Summerfest was Monday, and I was pretty disappointed by all (yes, even Spoon with their lack of enthusiasm and stage presence) except for Matt & Kim. And can I ask: WHY did The Cribs come? Their recorded stuff is bad, but they were awful live. I’m pretty sure the entire band was stoned half to death. The lead singer (I didn’t bother looking up his name) knocked the mic off the stage in what looked like a drunken stupor during the first song. He hit it with his guitar – on purpose.
Anyway, Matt & Kim followed, and I can’t say enough how much fun that show was! Kim busted her snare half way through a song, and someone quickly switched it out. It was awesome! Matt said he thought the crowd was better at Summerfest than their show at Lollapalooza just a few days before.
I really have no new music to share in the meantime. I’ve not only been a lazy bum, but I’m actually getting my stuff organized before starting my new job in a couple weeks, and grad school will start shortly thereafter. I may disappear and reappear sporadically. I have other duties! No worries.
