Augie March and The Aliens are on tour together! They happen to be two of my favorite bands at the moment, and at some point I want to go out and see them play live. Currently they’re playing shows from the east coast to the west coast in the US and Canada. Tonight they’re in Washington DC.

I’ve mentioned before how much I like The Aliens’ song, “Robot Man”. Augie March’s “One Crowded Hour” is also a brilliant track. It’s one of those songs that when I listen to it, I get that feeling in my stomach…that’s hard to explain. A rush of adrenaline? Basically, it’s a good feeling and it’s because of the tone of Glenn Richards‘ voice, the choice of chords they’re using as well as the melodic happenings within the song. Lovely.
