Au Revoir Simone

Au Revoir Simone are an all-female, all-keyboard indie pop band from Brooklyn, New York. Their new CD is Still Night, Still Light.

In honor of New Bunny Day, here's a beautiful song about a bunny from class act and past TSOYA guest John Vanderslice.

HURRAY FOR ANDREW WK! GIVE CHILDREN BAZOOKAS!

Did I book them on The Sound of Young America because their band is named after a line from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure? Well, maybe. Kind of. A little bit. But their records are lovely, too.

Also: they appear to be throwing some kind of DANCE CONTEST.

The Who perform A Quick One While He's Away on the Rolling Stones' Rock & Roll Circus.
