Local band The Modlins are having their CD release party TONIGHT at the Whistlestop in South Park. It's their debut LP, coming after a couple of EPs, and it's coming out at the perfect time.
Inspired by equal parts Buddy Holly and early Weezer, the Modlins music makes a great soundtrack for that transition from San Diego winter to spring. I know we don't have real seasons here, but there's still a parting of the clouds, a slight warming, and if the LP is up to the level of their EPs, then it will be great music for playing while driving the 101, hanging out by a window with a good book or that first barbecue. Check out their myspace page to get a taste of what I mean.
The band wears matching suits when they play, and usually I'm really against anything gimmick-ey like that. But it fits the music instead of getting in the way of it; they wear them well.
Expect a Whistlestop full of bobbing heads and swaying hips. Swim Party and The Fascination round out the San Diego indie pop bill.
