Despite putting in some overtime at work this week, I mustered up the energy on Wednesday to catch The Cuts' live set at Amoeba Records. I was not familiar with them up to this point, but the second they started into their opening song, I was hooked. A little bit of Ramones' energy, a little bit of Elvis Costello and the Attractions - garage rock at its finest ... and keyboards!!! Their latest album, From Here on Out hit the record stores recently, and has potential to be a massive hit - if I have anything to say about it. And they're from the Bay Area, so I need to have a little bit of local pride. I spoke with the band and their people afterwards so they're may be some Cuts/N&UR action in the near future. I'll let you know as details emerge. In the meantime, check them out on MySpace.::MP3

The Calexico and Pretty Girls Make Graves spots should be interesting. I haven't heard of James Liddell.
The Cuts is a pretty unfortnate name (LOL). You just know what they're going to be called if some nasty reviewer fancies a cheap shot.
I hadn't thought of the name, but that's a funny observation. Hopefully you don't give them a nasty review.
