Well, its kind of hard to go to write about a band that has been noticed by pitchfork and The Village Voice, but here goes. Harlem Shakes is an indie rock band from Brooklyn. Their music can be described in short as good, but it would be lazy of me to leave it off there. The band has a sound which is reminicent of the Velvet Underground. The songs have an ability to gain at the very least a toe tap or two from listeners and sport catchy lyrics that will leave you talking about how mellow west coast kids are for a day or two. I would have their CD Burning Birthdays if it weren't for technical difficulties, but I have a live recording of their song Carpetbaggers. Check out their website http://www.harlemshakes.com/ or their myspace.
