Late to thread but: I bet they knit their own stage lighting and send concert announcements with bags of seeds and their t-shirts have public domain children's book illustrations on them and OMFG I HATE THEM SO MUCH.
Corte Madera? Ugh. Of course. Wrote her first poem looking across the bay at San Quentin wondering what the butterflies who fly over the prison feel like.

And while we're talking about other annoying Christmas commercials w/ songs: this Jingle Bells/Our House mash-up was on every other commercial and was driving me crazy.

t/s these commercials vs. the honda vampy weekend ones

the ads w/ the vampire weekend song irritate me and make me wonder why anyone would ever choose to sing like that slightly more than the pomplamoose one

In case you’re wondering if they are or aren’t a couple, they are. They live together in southern Sonoma County (they won’t say where.) They make their videos using Pro Tools and Final Cut in their garage. Hyundai came to their garage for the Christmas commercial spots. It’s fairly certain that their music flies off Myspace at high bitrates; no need for shelves.
With their recent success, they’ve been able to quit their days jobs and devote full time to music. They had great jobs, too. Conte was a composer for Google’s in-house corporate videos. Nataly Dawn was a hotel marketer.
For their recent New Year’s Eve show in San Francisco, they had to hire three backing musicians. It seems like they’d rather be making videos and recording. Who can blame them. Said Conte, “We have a very opposite business model of most musicians. Most bands and musicians don’t make money on recordings, and they only make money on live shows. We are precisely the opposite. We lose money on live shows and make our living on recordings.”

"We're also awful people," added Dawn before peeling the head off a squirming kitten and sloppily guzzling blood from its tiny neckhole.

Only if you become friends w/ them long enough to talk them out of any sort of music career and that they should go back to their really amazing day jobs they gave up to annoy the shit out of us.

Presumably the backup musicians they hired plus transport plus gear plus maybe their own soundman or whatever else cost more than they make on the show.

I've lost money on shows, but when I say "lost money" I mean like $5-10 because we were playing somewhere that took a lot of gas to get to and then not many people showed up.
