A very rare late night post from the Little Elpees, but it's a world premiere. Maybe not, I'm sure some eager blogger has beat me to the punch. I'll have more to say later about Chapel Hill's Rosebuds, but let me plainly state this: I absolutely love to see an indiepop type grow up into a big ole dance party monster of a band. By late spring, people will be uttering the word "rosebuds" in conversations at dinner parties, work, play, kickball practice.... the world will know. There's nothing overly complicated or mathematical about Rosebuds. They are equal parts Blondie and !!! (that chk-chk-chk for you newbies). It's laid back, it's a rave up, it's southern, it's Manchester. Hey you, new wave. Try it.
The Rosebuds release "Night Of The Furies" on Merge Records in April. Spring for an extra copy for a friend who needs a little pick me up circa 1991. Spring is sneaking into your bones! Darling Buds or Rosebuds? Hmmmm....
The Rosebuds play at SXSW at Antone's on the Merge Records' night, March 14 at 11:00pm. Bring your dancing shoes or dancing horses.

I saw them open for Teenage Fanclub last year and thought they had too many lalas and not enough words. I was absolutely blown away by the nu sound when I saw them open for Yo La Tengo last month. I also got the feeling they could be "big". Very strange. They'd have to let the girl dress the rest of the band though, I think that was the only thing standing between me enjoying their set and believing they might become a "great rock and roll band"
