Band of the Day: Walter Meego

January 6, 2007

in band of the day, indie, music

NAME: Walter Meego
HOMETOWN: Chicago, Illinois, USA
WEBSITE: http://www.waltermeego.com

HOW I HEARD ABOUT THEM: I randomly caught his set when I was at the Iceland Airwaves festival in 2006
LATEST RELEASE: Romantic [CD Single]
SONG LISTENED TO: “Wanna Be a Star” [MP3]
WHAT THEY SOUND LIKE: Dancy synth pop, blah blah blah. Like LCD Soundsystem (but not trying as hard to be cool) or The Rapture. Surprisingly sweet and down-to-earth vocals. They were pretty awesome fun live.
THUMB UP OR DOWN?: Up
OTHER BLOGS THAT HAVE TALKED ABOUT THEM: Music Glob, Largehearted Boy, Ornery
LISTEN TO MORE: “Through a Keyhole” [MP3], Myspace

Video for “Romantic”:

Regarding the “THUMBS UP OR DOWN” category: would the title “Band of the Day” ever prompt a thumbs down? Think that one over for a bit.

1984– I did think about that, changing it to a 1 to 5 rating.
