The Way I Want To Be:The Village Green

Artist: The Village Green

Album: The Village Green

Appears On (Mixes): Dub Club: Matt's 2005 Best Of -- Streets Named For New England Trees

Song Notes: Aila and I recently saw The Village Green live -- I think they were opening for the Posies; I'm pretty sure, anyway. They're from Portland, and they've been getting a lot of buzz, recently. Hopefully they'll make it to the Big Time. If you couldn't tell from their name, they're pretty Kinks-influenced (though, unlike the album they referenced, more on the Rock Side of the Kinks), and have a lot of that sixties garage stomp type of sound. A really fun band to listen to and see live. They've only got a self-titled EP out now, but hopefully they'll have a full-length soon. -Rev. Syung Myung Me
