Description:
When you love a band this much, writing up their shows becomes a new kind of challenge: a quest, in fact, to be quoted in their press releases. So, here goes: Near Your House are the antidote to every other band who puts ‘post punk' in their MySpace genre listing then slaps effects over their lyrics like it's as easy as stealing their sister's eye-shadow. They are true disco punk icons, taking up where Bowie left off while retaining enough balls to boost the sale of hairspray in the male 18-25 demographic. They are not the bastard children of anyone; they are better than Duran Duran crossed with Muscles in a multi-billion dollar NASA-sponsored lab. If they weren't near my house, I would pay a premium international airfare plus cab and a $10 tip to get to their house. Jeez, just go see the show. They're launching their first studio-recorded EP, We are Near Your House, with support from The Genie.
