The Boy Most Likely To ...

... play a very sold-out show here in town:

In a season that is boasting more buzz bands than the last several seasons combined, the latest, The Boy Least Likely To, has received major accolades from all of the UK Weekly music papers. With all this momentum, the band is about to kick off a quicky promo tour to celebrate the deafening buzz that is building. A quirky duo from Jolly Old England, TBLLT has more in common with that wicked cool mom/older sister character that would come to your 3rd grade class and sing songs about giraffes, bubbles, puppies and kitties, bursting with the subtle flavors of the Beach Boys, Fairport Convention, and other much more precious things, than it does with all the other Joy Division/Talking Heads/Gang of Four freshness that is pummeling the airwaves. Check out some tracks on their official site. They were picked as the band of the day by Spin, you can read all the things they loved about them here: TBLLT – Band of the Day.

Their album gets a US release on April 4. In the meantime, give it a listen:
