The Debutant Hour

Last night I went to see a friend of a friend of a friend's band at the Mercury Lounge. I'm not really a "gig" person, but these friends are visiting from England, and it's good to do different things.



The first band (the one we actually went to see) was good, but the second act was brilliant! When they first got on stage they looked like the beginning of a bad joke that's going to have a disappointing punch line: "An African-American playing cello, a blond playing the accordian, and an Asian on percussian are wearing prom dresses..."



The costumes make sense when you find out they're called The Debutant Hour. They did an amazing cover of TLC's "Scrubs." The video is shit, but hopefully the audio gives you an idea of how great they were!
