- Well,
  
  pick the last good live band you saw so it's not a case of favouritism?

  - the last good local one has had too much plugging from me lately
    
    so the one before that was warm widow

        the most newest that i really like is tekla doing her guitar playing singing but she hasn't even got anything online yet. i suppose you could listen to dbh he is probably the best guitarist i've ever met

Local scene? what's that?

All the new bands from my town are on Pitchfork faster than you can boot a Macbook Pro and they'll maybe do 1 'gig' a year which will be at an art student friend's 'opening' and involve laptop, MPC, vocal, beards, hiking boots, hat, fringes (for the female(s)) and more instagram pictures than melodies

Don't let the name throw you... there's nothing teen or little kid about the band. It's just really solid postpunk/shoegaze deliciousness. Rose is my favorite song.

Start with YUNG, though.
