Well it's a good thing no one reads this because I completely forgot about it. Anywho, I'm bored at work so here is my 2nd blog post ever. Nearly a year later......
I want to talk about a band called Atlas Genius. It is possible that you have heard them on XM radio or FIFA 13. However what you may not know is that the band actually consists of 3 brothers from Adelaide, South Australia. Keith, Michael and Steven Jeffrey, along with friend and keyboardist Darren Sell. Keith Jeffrey describes their music as influenced by bands like Death Cab for Cutie, The Police, and Beck. Personally I think they sound more like a 3way love child of Miike Snow,Young the Giant and Foster the Poeple. I heard their first single, 'Trojans' nearly a year ago and I am very excited for thier first full studio album to drop on Feb. 19.
I was lucky enough to see them a few months back at a small,local venue in town.They have become even bigger since then. They are slated for a spring tour with another of my current favorite bands Imagine Dragons. I got to talk to Keith after the show and he is a super friendly, down to eath chap. I expect these guys to be huge in the next year and become the 2nd big time alt rock band form down under alongside The Temper Trap. They have already come a long way from dry walling, laying floorboards and playing covers at local pubs. Go check them out! AG
Up next. Sugar & the Hi-lows
