Hello city of cold naked trees! New to the show this week are recent east-Idaho-to-Boise transplants Spondee. I first saw these guys play at VaC before Christmas and they turned in a set of exuberant, boyish pop capped off with a nice cover of The Very Most's “Sod Off”. It's charming to see a young band pay homage to Mr. Jeremy Jensen and co. with the cover and with their basic sound... kind of reminds me of another young band from years back called The Yukon and You fronted by the same Jeremy and proudly wearing their influences (from Boise and elsewhere) on their sleeves. Spondee front man Clint Vickery sent me a handful of tracks and “Lovelorn Robot” has been a favorite at the Hard Math Cave this week. Fun band and they seem to be playing shows pretty regularly in addition to prepping their debut record... Watch out for them. I can't help adding that a certain local rock veteran remarked that Spondee Clint looked like “Matt Damon’s love child.” Now I can’t shake that association... but it's certainly not a bad thing for a young band to have a frontman who looks like a moviestar.
We love it love it!

You would be the one to write a poem, take it back sing it to your mom at home.                        You spend the night alone in the satellite, and break away or bury the world below.                              Well i have to confess to Julieta Venegas, quisiera andar contigo, Oh Oh Oh     -Chorus-

There's a place in Sweet Cancun, where we can sit by the fire                                      and feel all your wrongs half made right.                                                                               There's a place in Sweet Cancun, where we can watch the sun rise and fall.                                             Vamos a la orilla de la mar.                                                                                        

Why you let me down? It's like a puzzle to me. A thousand peices scattered all over your bedroom floor.                                                                                                                                   So then you try and sell back part of life, and rent the rest to vatos and machos you know. Well i have to confess to Julieta Venegas, quisiera andar contigo. Oh Oh Oh     -Chorus-
