Band of the Day: Walter Meego

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

LISTEN TO MORE: “Through a Keyhole” [MP3], Myspace

    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.
