Band In Boston

With a blend of styles that bring to mind The Police, Interpol, The Press, and several other bands that we love, you just can’t go wrong with The Peasantry. They are playing tonight at Great Scott. Soon you’ll also be able to see the video of this session on unsignedartists.com – we’ll let you know when it’s up! As a belated Christmas bonus, Etan brought along what is sure to be the holiday hit of 2008 – we’ve tacked it on to the end. Enjoy! OH! And we figure we should start using this thing – check out a few photos of their session at our home on Flickr!
