Bands I Heart: 65daysofstatic

65daysofstatic is a really great band that doesn't get enough hype on the blogosphere, including here. Their full-length from last year was our #30 best album of 2007 and I had only mentioned them once before that, so here's some 65daysofstatic stuff. This UK outfit is broadly a post-rock band, but they break down more genre walls then most any band you can paint with that brush. They just dropped a new video on youtube earlier this week in support of their new EP/Single, The Distant and Mechanized Glow of Eastern European Dance Parties:

"Dance Parties (Distant)":



So they seemed to have gone post-dance-rock with this EP and these guys have the ability to conquer just about any sort of feel they want. Here's another track from it:

They are touring around with The Cure right now and will be at the Gwinnett Center Arena on June 15th. Here is a recent torrent form one of those shows:
