well if you're in toronto, you do now! remember i mentioned the band i saw on new year's eve? well, their name is Michaux Machine and they're playing this wednesday (12th) at the Drake (over there on queen west, a block east of Dufferin.) the music... well, a few bands came to mind as i listened to them, you go ahead and call it what you like.
i thought of beck, soul coughing, the clash. at times they were pop, but like costello-pop, edged with something deeper. what else...? aw man, i knew i should have written it down. there were other styles thrown in with this hipster bad boy stuff, creating a delicious and at times incongruous mass of music. and from that mess of melody, you could just make out the notes whispering their grating, lulling mantra - promising to bend your knees and stroke your soul. Michaux Machine - seriously, check them out.
