This evening, the 40 Watt will be dishing up a real feast. On the menu is Toro Y Moi, Cloud Nothings and The Gold Party. While Toro Y Moi has become well-known in the indie/hipster/blog world, Cloud Nothings and The Gold Party are still emerging. There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing bands on the cusp of serious acclaim at an intimate venue like the 40 Watt. Everyone loves nonchalantly telling the story about how they saw Super Famous Band play at Open Mic Night. My friend’s dad tells an excellent version involving Jimi Hendrix and a grimy little club in the late ’60s. Maybe someday our stories will be similarly awe-inspiring…
UGA Stylerecently joined forces with BLVD Magazine & had the honor to hang out with the Modern Skirts. While in their midst, the Skirtsteased us with a few new tunes off their upcoming “untitled” album, sat down for a hilarious, but enlightening interview, & got their inner Fabio out for a style rich photoshoot displaying some of their freshest threads (oddly enough, none of the members wore skirts.)
<<<For your listening pleasure, UGA Style had each of the guys compile a few songs they’ve had ringing in their ears as of late>>>
Some are old, some are new & some are just down right weird: Check out the Modern Skirts PLAYLIST for yourselves.
