Bombastic Brooklyn-based oddballs Skeletons and the Kings of All Cities are an eclectic cast of classically-trained trombonists, punk rock drummers and junkyard jazz guitarists following the kitchen-sink blueprint fabricated by frontman and Shinyoko label founder Matt Meehan.

[coast to coast]

The only thing lacking with this performance was the crowd it deserved. With a pile of pretentious haircuts the 50-strong attendance was by and large motionless and void of a punk ethos, there was even a call from the crowd to "turn up the vocals", seemingly unaware of what sound experimentation is.

I hate this kind of shit....the writing that is.

That Land Lovers album is something else alright. It reminds me of Snow Patrol at their best, with touches of The Script.

wow, really?

I'm gonna check that out so.

I heard from a friend that its heavily influenced by Oasisises early stuff (the Masterplan era). A winning formula right there.

Well it's inspired by everything from the famous-to-millions smash hits like Wonderwall to the obscure b-sides (which are actually my favourites, as an artist) like Talk Tonight, so pretty wide-ranging all told.

I heard that Land Lovers early EPs were great, and that they've sold out a bit and gone all commercial since they've gotten big.

By the way I'm trying to recruit a McD's possie for yer gig on wednesday.

I'm hopeful that at least Mr.O'Shea will come
