Hey! Back online :)
So, I'm obsessing over WAKEY!WAKEY! This group is gaining glorious momentum thanks to the likability of its lead singer, Mike Grubbs, who is currently being featured as a reoccurring character on One Tree Hill. While others (like Kate Voegele) have been featured on OTH, none have had a character with their same name, so kudos to you, Grubbs!
In addition to his charming charisma, Grubbs is wonderfully talented, giving rhythm piano a breath of fresh air and a new wave of awesome, keeping rhythms simple and melodies light and elegant. He doesn't sound like anyone else you've ever heard before, and he's soulful yet accessably mainstream, making him perfect for radio. (Hope to hear you soon, Mike!)
The band as a whole has a great retro sound that's uniquely different but strangely familiar due to the strikingly real lyrics and pictures that Grubbs paints with his words. Each song prompts the comment "been there!" from the audience. In short, you've got to check out WAKEY!WAKEY!, a delightfully truthful musical experience. I mean, come on, with lyrics like "You should go home before your money's all gone" and "Why you wanna talk when we dance so good," how can you say NO?
