Awesome Color Sound Awesome!

Sorry, I couldn't resist using that title for this post.  The power trio that is Awesome Color currently reside in Brooklyn but originally hail from Michigan where they met in Ann Arbor.  I'm sure Ann Arbor's favorite son Iggy Pop as well as the spirits of the legendary MC5 to the east are proud of what they're hearing from the group.

It's also occurred to me that since the University of Michigan and Ohio State are such bitter rivals maybe Awesome Color joined the fray to serve as an answer, or should I say a shot across the bow, to the Buckeye state's very own Times New Viking.  That's certainly a battle of the bands I'd like to see!  Somebody get to work on that double bill asap. 

Awesome Color's second album Electric Aborigines is due out April 29th on Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace! label.  Check out one of the tracks from the album below.
