8-bit… ah… well what can you say? Most of the junk out there just sounds like it could be straight from an old NES game, but some have managed to tame the stereotypical arpeggios and actually create music that a matured listener, which I am assuming we all are, will appreciate. Sure it’s catchy, sure it’s a bit more square wave than Read more

Sundance Kids: Twee with a Twang
Filed Under Shows | Leave a Comment
Sundance Kids is playing their own special mix of twee hybrid folk pop for Moscow this Valentine’s Day, and the lead vocal/circus master Shelby Turner would like to encourage you all to bring your candy, flowers, and teddies. “We want to be your valentine, Moscow!” says Turner with a charming smile.
The Kids is Turner’s post-college “self-improvement project,” started in 2005 by Turner + Girl.The band evolved into Turner’s baby as time passed and feelings changed. Derek (bass) and Erin (glockenspiel, drums, bass, vocals) came along after meeting Turner at Evergreen College in Olympia, WA, the Kids’ hometown.
Sundance Kids plays hybrid country because those are their roots; they’re hybrid because they quit country/folk for pop a couple of years back. They’re twee because, well, why not? “The original idea of the project was play really cute twee-country songs, the kind that would make people chuckle and giggle and say ‘awww!’,” Turner explains. Gradually the country advanced into twee with more pop-appeal.
Like in all good westerns, Sundance Kids is travelling westward; this is their 3rd tour of the northwest and they are thrilled to be back in Moscow. “There’s a Co-Op, the country is beautiful, the Palouse is just lovely,” says Turner; he continues: “We’re really excited to play with Yarn Owl, our friends from Pullman.”
Bring your sweetheart to hear Sundance Kids and Yarn Owl at the Nuart Theatre in downtown Moscow (516 S. Main Street) on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, 2008, at 8:00 p.m., $5 at the door. ~xox, molly miltenberger
