Wesleyan Hot Mess

How is it possible for one school to churn out so many amazing bands? Fuck if I know, but it's pretty freaking grand.  Granted, some of them formed post-Wes (and in Brooklyn, breeding ground of all that is great and hipster)...BUT STILL, this place is making some cracked out ish.

Amazing Baby: First off, they have a song called The Narwhal, that in itself is epic.  Anyone who can have a song about the unicorns of the sea are incred.  Seriously though, they have a great sound kind of like the Cure but with more echoing.  Their album Rewild is kind of random in it's genre with poppy, folk, and rock songs.  I think they have something for everybody, but more importantly they have a song called the Narwhal and everyone should have an epic animal song name in their library.

Oh and they're in montreal in december...

Boy Crisis: This is copied from their myspace since I couldn't put it any better...anyways they have an ethnic member so obv their fucking awesome

"Boy Crisis is an American Proto-Post Popular Music Band from the United States following the Rhythm & Blues Tradition of such classic acts as The Ronettes and New Edition, carrying on the Great Western practice of cultural appropriation in an attempt to forge at least some semblance of interpersonally translatable empathy and compassion and at most, true love. Two useful terms a music journalist might feel compelled to use in describing them would be: "danceable" and "pop hooks." Boy Crisis is a "Brooklyn buzz band." They are well-liked in the blogosphere. They are hip and marketable to several youthy demographics. They have "crossover appeal." They have an "ethnic band member." Boy Crisis is a semi-cosmic cultural entity. Their spaced-out vibe is totally tubular. They are the conundrum of masculinity and youth. They are a limited liability corporation."

Das Racist: Pizza Hut Taco Bell? WTF...how did these kids get into Wesleyan? Oh well, they're in montreal Oct.3 and I kind of want to see them....kind of

MGMT (last on the list cuz they're sell outs): If you don't know MGMT there is something wrong with you esp since they have reached the peak of sell-out-dom, how do I know?  Because they sell they're freaking albums in Urban Outfitters psh

To make Wesleyan even more beast, they have lingerie and sex parties...cracked out musicians and sex, why am I not there?
