The Bay Area’s new “It” band: The Limousines
by The Scene on March 31st, 2009
The Scene figures that, since everybody else in the SF indie scene has spent the last couple weeks drumming up the hype (including a successfully packed coming out party at Pop Scene) for San Jose’s new indie darlings The Limousines, The Scene might as well join the fray and sing a few praises of its own. Well, we guess you can’t really call them indie anymore since they just signed to Universal last week, but major label be damned, these guys have a very cool sound that mashes together the best elements of electro-indie modern touchstones such as MGMT and Of Montreal. Oh, and with their song “Very Busy People”, they also have a catchy and instantly lovable single that uses a cuttingly smart wit to satirize the general pop culture malaise that is the day-to-day life of San Fran scenesters like you and me. Sounds like an anthem to us…

Even if it may sound a bit like lots of songs you’ve enjoyed for the past 2 years, well, you enjoyed those songs, didn’t you? Then you’ll enjoy these, so quit complaining.
