If you're anything like me, a date can be fraught with raw nerves, sweaty palms and questions.
Lots of questions.
Am I talking about myself too much? Should I ask about my date's background? How do I work my encyclopedic knowledge of Sudanese war atrocities into the conversation? When's the right time to mention my outstanding warrants?
Birds of Avalon, a band from Raleigh, North Carolina, just had their newest album Bazaar Bazaar debut earlier in May of this year. The album features funky songs with a classic rock foundation. Two of the band members and guitarists, Cheetie Kumar and Paul Siler, originally belonged to a band known as The Cherry Valence. After seven years, they felt the need to quit the band and move on to something different.
The Hives have returned with their all-new studio album, The Black and White Album. The Hives hail from Fagersta, Sweden. The five-piece Swedish garage-rock band began in 1993. They have experienced success at home and abroad. However, it was 1997 before they actually produced a full-length album. Later, they hit stride with the hits "Hate to Say I Told You So" and "Main Offender."
