I have never blogged here before, but I thought this was funny. People never remember the band name, and it sometimes is put as "Kittens on Strings", which is infinitely more sadistic. There are a few articles on the net that say mittens on strings may choke your children, so I guess that it is pretty dark. Anyway, all this leads up to this guy saying this on his blog Ad Hoc. I guess he was looking through the SXSW list.
So many new bands, new music, new styles... so many new band names. Finding an original band name must be just as trying as trying not to sound like Green Day or The Strokes. On that note, I still think Feist sounds like Joni Mitchell during her wannabe disco days.
From anything with the word "wolf", a personal brain-glitcher... to names with expletives like "yeah" and "fuck", names my mom could never ever understand.
Best name to date: Mittens on Strings.
I know nothing about them, but I like their style already.
With love from Brooklyn,
