this is the stupidest blog ive ever seen
what a waste of space to outsource tour dates from a band website
why do you think they will be mainstream
its weird music, outside of the pop sect sound
how many songs off of sml were poppy, without ‘annoying’ sound bites
yacht will never be mainstream
thats not even the word for it
yachts just fucking awesome
and power to people for liking good music from creative people
and how the hell do you figure 3 yacht members?
Andrew, I love the enthusiasm!
3 YACHT members are starting the Straight Gaze (check the vid)
But maybe we can have you write in the site sometime… keep up good work buddy.
