Coming To Your Local Bandstand: Meneguar

They're all that's left of this awful mess. Please don't speak to them, they're just the temp. Who we are we talking about? Only the most ass-kickingest rock band going these days. It's Meneguar, the Brooklyn-based quartet that put out last year's basically life-affirming I Was Born At Night, which is getting remastered and reissued on Troubleman in June. The record contained the World of Sound most-played cut of 2005, you may or may not recall, the triumphant rocker "The Temp." For those who don't know, the act sounds like a more mad, more disappointed Archers of Loaf, they used to be called Sheryl's Magnetic Aura, yadda yadda yadda. These guys rock. clicky clicky offers its unreserved recommendation for this band. Chances are if you see them this go around you're going to hear some new tunes, as the band reported at its MySpace carport in October that they were working on the follow-up to I Was Born At Night. Will it be issued on Troubleman as well? Will it kick mucho buttocks? We don't know! Stay tuned!! Here are the dates!!! Four exclamation points!!!!
