Bands we play: Lake Street Dive

We have to admit we weren't aware of Lake Street Dive until their breakout album, "Bad Self Portraits," came out two years ago. But we were happy to jump on the bandwagon and we're eagerly anticipating the release of "Side Pony" this month. The second single from the album - "I Don't Care About You" - joins "Call Off Your Dogs" on our playlist this week.

What kind of music do they play, anyhow? Well, this description in the Boston Globe is as good as any:

They blend elements from Motown, classic soul, and British Invasion rock into a winning sound that’s high-energy and highly musical.
