I just found out that The Teeth have broken up. And I'm distraught. I think my reaction to the break-up is much like Daytrotter's:
No, No, No, No, No, No, No, NO! [Click to read their article.]
I was supposed to see The Teeth with Bishop Allen at the Black Cat on May 18, but I guess that's not happening now. I just wish I knew what caused this...I haven't been this involved in a break-up since the 7th grade!
All I have to say, in conclusion, is that I will miss The Teeth. I wish you had never fallen out.
Sorry, but I'll never give up on the corny puns. HOWEVER , in honor of the band, I give you their last, unreleased song. Enjoy, and always remember.
Last night, I was lucky enough to see a great show at my school, American University. Matt Pond PA came to play for us, and they had a great opener: Civil Twilight.
Civil Twilight is composed of Andrew and Steven McKellar and Richard Wouters. They hail from Cape Town, South Africa. Now, I have to say most people came out for Matt Pond, but when Civil Twilight played, everyone was won over.
The lead singer, Steven, had an amazing voice, the drummer had a frenetic style all his own, and as for the bassist, Matt Pond PA's own Matthew Daniel Siskin had this to say as he stood in the crowd: "He's amazing on the bass! Wow."
Do they have fan appeal? You bet. After the show, they sold tons of CDS (and were even kind enough to sign them for the audience!), posters, and t-shirts. I also heard the audience murmuring about how much they reminded them of Radiohead, but in a different way -- and they loved it.
Every song was passionate and well-put together. I highly suggest you check out their album, Human out on OneOctober Recordings, and be sure to stop by their sick website (designed by the guitarist, Andrew, who also designed all the merch):

Aeroplane Pageant grabs your notice with their debut album, Wave To The Moon with robust, emotional vocals along with dramatic, captivating guitar. You are immediately pulled into a dream world full of intricate, wavering melodies.
Bassist Timothy Watson's smooth bass lines help to support lead singer and guitarist Brian Kelly's impulsive, striking guitar riffs. All together, the album makes for an intensely passionate listening experience that can't be missed. Newsday has even caught on, dubbing the band's album "one of the best indie-rock albums of the year so far..."
Check out their song "All The Days", and be sure to listen to their entire album.
