Here's a video just spotted, that makes me happy for kids in Modesto:
That's Glass Candy. Discussed at Status Ain't Hood, and also at Pitchfork, and in interview at We Shot JR. Glass Candy played at the Echo in May. They're calling it "nu Italo disco," noise-rock, or some other such cannibalized craziness. All I'm getting is flashbacks to dark roads not yet travelled.
