Mooook!

Paul Dano, the eccentric Dwayne from Little Miss Sunshine, has a rock band and surprisingly, they're pretty damn good. Unlike Keanu Reeves' Dogstar, Russell Crowe's 30 Odd Foot of Grunts, or The Bacon Brothers, Dano's Mook actually sounds like a legitimate band. His voice is the centerpiece, a breathy but clear folk-tinged croon. The band dabbles with organ and vibraphone, quiet and noisy arrangements, solemnity and cheekiness. So refreshing! They're playing @ The Boot in Norfolk, VA May 24th. I'll be there.
