artist to watch: The Potentials


I get emails all of the time of bands claiming that they have a "unique" sound, and usually it's not true. but sometimes, that's not entirely a bad thing.

The Potentials are a three-some from Fairfax, VA. they aren't unique, because their music sounds like what Chester French would be in an alternate universe where they hung out in their garage instead of going to an Ivy league school.

regardless, I'm grateful that it's electronica that doesn't leave me with a horrible headache. so go ahead and indulge in something one part derivative, two parts catchy.

I live like 15 minutes from Fairfax! That's so cool.

I live 15 minutes away from Stanford, CA, which has a stupid university and a really shitty band called the Donnas to its name. the only times I go there are to see Cal's rugby team desecrate Stanford or when I go to Stanford theatre, which shows old b&w films for like 5 bucks. and you get two showings for the ticket. it's pretty sweet. but it's not in the university, it's in downtown, so it's ok.
