about time the song “it gets your body movin’” got a video, don’t you think? just don’t expect any of the oddball images to come together to find any meaning. from a drained out pool, to a neatly naked costumed dude, beard shaving and paint chipping … well, it sure is a good song, ain’t it?

it’s not every day that houston gets a high profile, across-the-board-approved indie stalwart to come and rock through our city, so upon hearing that both beach house and local natives would be rolling through houston in a two-day time span, the collective populus that gives a shit about this kind of stuff began to clamor with excitement. naturally, the bears procrastinated a few minutes too long and had to pass on beach house due to a sell out. that didn’t stop us from lizzing from sheer glee and catching local natives, a band we’ve so dearly cared about since the first incarnation of this here blog.
we still have SXSW footage coming your way in the next couple days via our good buddy josh cornejo, so keep a look out.
hit the jump for the rest of the recap.

i’m not going to try to better the blurb written over on the daytrotter page regarding suckers. ‘a jubilant squeeze of pulp’, ‘euphoric joyousness’ and ‘testament to all things that have wings’? seriously?!?
yes, i get all that listening to new suckers songs.

suckers’ new video for ‘easy chairs’ from their self-titled ep. don’t let the ‘itunes visualizer-esque’ effects overwhelm you the first few plays around. this is one catchy song. though, admittedly i didn’t notice anything beyond the visuals the first 4 times i watched this.

reminiscent of tv on the radio, or yeasayer (their upcoming ep is produced by yeasayer’s anand wilder), brooklyn, new york’s suckers are another in a long line of BK-bred artsy/atmospheric rockers. this song, ‘it gets your body movin’, sounds HUGE with it’s melancholy melody, thunderous drums, and anthemic chorus. it kinda reminda me of arcade fire’s ‘wake up’ (or maybe i’m watching the ‘where the wild things are’ trailer too much). either way the song is amazing and i can’t wait to hear the ep from these guys.
