Boo And Boo Too


You Should Know


Instead of feebly attempting to describe Lawrence, KA's Boo And Boo Too's sound, I'm going to have to forfeit that responsibility to omahype.com, who already described it perfectly: "Boo and Boo Too are a band from Lawrence. They play indie rock, but not like 2000s indie rock, like 90s indie rock. Think Pavement and Sonic Youth, awesome and kind of ballsy compared to the vagina rock that we know and love today. They're noisy, there is feedback, yes, this EP is awesome." That's pretty much what I was going to say. Boo And Boo Too, besides having a ridiculous band name, makes unhinged indie rock with a sonic repertoire reminiscent of classic indie mainstays like My Bloody Valentine and Dinosaur Jr while incorporating the modern eclecticism of bands like Broken Social Scene and The Walkmen. There are screaming guitars, pounded piano chords, deep-toned basslines, buzzing amplifiers, and primal yelped vocals mixing together to form a noisy soundscape that is chaotic yet poppy. Already having shared the stage with bands like (the aforementioned) Broken Social Scene, Death Cab For Cutie, and Magnolia Electric Co., Boo And Boo Too will be following up their energetic 2007 self-titled EP with a full-length entitled No Tempo some time this year. If it finds the right audience, this band could very well be the next big thing. -- Capt. Obvious
