Northern Lights in Los Angeles

Great Northern - Home

It's a huge hype, the idea of the local band. Usually, I only find out about local bands after they get huge and I hear them say, "I grew up in the dirty projects of Los Angeles," on MTV. Even if someone says they're from LA, they're usually from some shithole part of LA - like Upland or something. I Wiki-ed the Great Northern but found minimal information about their exact birth place. I digress.

So the Great Northern. The guy on Indie 103.1 told me I'd hear them on commercials more. As soon as he said that, I liked them a little less. They do sound like they'd be on a fucking toothpaste or Dentine Ice commercial.

I'll choose to like them for the next day or so. I might change my mind tomorrow, but as of today, I'll forget about that whole commercial comment and go back to my initial opinion that they sound like Death Cab with a little bit of Savage Garden with a chick. Like I said, I'll like them for the next day or so.

On a side note, why are the Olympics so goddamn addicting? I never cared so much about synchronized diving.
