thursday agenda: couples night

Tonight is apparently cuteness overload night at Neumos with a trio of duos taking the stage [#]. So much overload that it’s the only actual bullet point on tonight’s agenda:
- Local teenage girl pop phenomenon Smoosh kicks off the evening. They’re followed by a double-header of husband-and-wife rock acts: Viva Voce and Mates of State. Both bands have some degree of the charming guy-girl vocal mixing and some degree of the tweeness inherent in married people being in a band together. Where Viva Voce takes a more dreamy and laid back approach with some field-recording type samples thrown in for good measure, Mates of State are a bit higher up on the enthusiasm scale with songs that often take a manic turn into carnival music territory (for what it’s worth, I mean this in the best way possible — drum set meets classic organ meets dual vocals explosions = a certain sort of awesome).
- For those that think that single bullet point outlines are the work of the devil, here’s a second suggestion: get some fries at Ting between sets at Frites. It’s a long night and you’ll need some nutrition.
