So who ARE that insufferable indie couple in the new Hyundai TV ads?

I've been hiding under the covers since this shithole century began.

good call

2001 was a pretty decent year. Miss Kittin etc.

How is this indie?
Do they make goofy faces
When they have sex?

Watched song on YouTube
Heard instruments not on-screen
Oh, how dishonest!

what assholes frankly

I am in such a mood now that I would like to kill both of them and wear their skins.

Not both at the same time. That would be savagery.

Oh, apologies if the couple in question post on this board!

lol i never noticed this part of the OP before

so i still like that song "river shiver," it's catchy, however every time it displays the album artwork i'm like "oh i don't think ilx would like that," viz:

You’re quite popular on Facebook. I noticed there were quite a few comments about playing 21+ shows on the tour.

Yeah, this is a big, big issue that I literally just noticed yesterday. I would be lying if I didn’t say that I was super-duper bummed when I realized we were playing 21 and over venues because I think half our fan base is under 21. Not only is it a bad financial move for us to play 21 and over shows because we lose half of our draw, but it’s also not fair to the fans who’ve been waiting to see us for two years, and then we come to their city and we’re there, and they’re not allowed into the venue. I remember not being allowed in the venues when I was a kid and I freakin’ hated it! It sucked. All I wanted to do was see music, I didn’t need to drink, I was super clean. I remember being really frustrated. So it’s actually a really big issue for me. This is our second tour, we don’t have a record label heading up the whole thing and we’re learning what works and what doesn’t. Next tour that’s definitely going to be a priority. We’re going make sure that we play all-ages shows because it’s just not fair just to not do that.

Finally, someone to replace Fugazi.

lol @ "we lose half of our draw"

They guys really love money

Thought this revive would be because they were getting in on the Lulu cover action. Lol at Fugazi joke.

are you joking or are they actually covering something from Lulu?

That "Bust Your Kneecaps, doo wop de doo" lyric makes me feel a million times better about every song I've ever written.

wow i just watched a few min of their set & thats so bad!

an hour long pomplamoose video???? do i dare watch

ha ha pompladude starts with a joke no one laughs at...EMBLEMATIC i guess

omg that video

oh good a meta song about how they are called pomplamoose and they are going to perform music

"I was super clean"

intro song mentions "haters" -- ilx shoutout?

love the steady stream of people walking in front of the camera, giving the stage an unimpressed side-eye

"single ladies" cover falls to pieces within ten seconds, never recovers

crowd could not give less of a fuck about any of this. STOP TRYING TO DO STAGE PATTER, THE CROWD IS AGAINST YOU

drum solo???????????

i imagine everyone would hate this fourth song because it is dreary and boring, but it's a bit dreamy and i like that. without the DRUM SOLO though

you know why the audience is so bored, pomplachick is wearing SUNGLASSES. her wide, eerily fixed eyes cannot compel them

pomplamoose this audience hates you!! they are not charmed by you inserting the word "google" into songs!! you need to start negging them. make a crack about google wave

seriously though this is terrible

this endless insecure dithering between songs!!!! i wonder if it's nerves or if they think this is charming.

TS: endless insecure dithering vs. three-minute instrumental "jam"

"single ladies" cover falls to pieces within ten seconds, never recovers

Was this a kids show?

These poor googles. They just want to a have a free lunch outside and ride a free bike around campus, and along comes Pomplamoose to make them want to go back in and start coding again.

improvised lyric during cover of "mr. sandman": "make sure he doesn't have an itchy crotch-y!"

ugh and then when the song ends, the chick tells the crowd "those were improvised lyrics!" other pomplaband member says "that works pretty well! that was funny!" STOP TALKING AND PLAY YOUR SHITTY MUSIC, YOU GOONS.

if the collapse of the record industry means all future bands are gonna be this shitty, unprofessional gloop with no stagecraft then the RIAA needs to start pressing for the death penalty for file-sharers

omg reddening thank you for liveblogging

pomplamoose you literally just said the phrase "you had to be there" to excuse your tiresome joke. go home. it's all over.

pomplamoose has one song that i genuinely like, called "river shiver." they are playing it now and it's abysmal. chick's voice is thin and inexpressive and wobbly -- things most people would say about their videos i know, but 10x worse here.

god these songs just dribble to a close! and then they laugh about it!! DON'T YOU CARE, POMPLAMOOSE!!!

I'm pretty sure they don't

And it was a corporate gig, too. These guys are like an SNL skit come to life.

Like, a cross between Garth & Kat and the Will Ferrell cheerleader duo.

pompladude: "so, ryan has been learning some slap bass recently!" it is the end times
