Lackluster

Of course I’d seen the list linked on a half-dozen sites by now, but I wasn’t even going to bother reading it until I saw Maura’s comment about Lavender Diamond making the list of top 40 bands of 2006. Well, I’m forced to throw in my two cents.

There is a reason I renamed them Lackluster Craphound after their set opening for the Decemberists a few weeks back. It’s because they sucked. Their songs have the same sort of stripped down folk pop vibe of the Fruit Bats with the same kind of kitschy antics of the Ditty Bops. What sets them apart from those two bands is that those two bands don’t suck. The lead singer does this airheaded Tinkerbell act that would grow wearisome and gimmicky as their show progressed except that it starts off wearisome and gimmicky and is only in danger of growing shrill. On top of that, she really can’t sing worth shit.
