Band of the Week: The Morning Benders


I remember seeing these guys in the Daily Cal (our school's newspaper) before all of the internet buzz happened (during their support of The Kooks' and DCFC's tours). I was intrigued by their name and looked them up, liked their sound. Their album Talking Through Tin Cans is one of my favourites of the year

catch them TONIGHT at Rickshaw in the city at 8:30 with The Soft Pack (previously known as the Muslims)

the Berkeley based band is melodic heaven to the 7th degree.

for fans of: Voxtrot, Oh No! Oh My!, What Made Milwaukee Famous, Sondre Lerche, and of course, the very band that influenced them the most, The Beatles =)

The Morning Benders - Damnit Anna (hearya live sessions, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!)[mp3]

The Morning Benders - Waiting for a War [mp3]
