The Mowgli's

One band that I have been listening to a lot recently is The Mowgli's. They are a Southern California group made up of 8 members. I classify this band as a really cool Indie-Alternative-Rock sound with a vocal chorus that gives them a unique edge. It's crazy to think that a band can be made up of 8 singers, it seems so big to me. But The Mowgli's really make it work. They look like a group of awkward college kids you would find hanging around outside a coffee shop.

They have a really interesting variety of songs, and they're coming to ACL which makes me 10000 times more excited to go! One of my favorites is called San Francisco. It's a short song but is incredibly catchy, and the music video fits really nicely. I like the animations and everything because it ties into the whole "love" theme that they're going for. It's also cool because I feel like this is a band I would see playing downtown-- they have a very Austin vibe to me. I like it.

My friend who lives in Chicago sent me a video Wednesday night of the Mowgli's playing in Millennium Park. Apparently they had an impromptu set in the park and almost got arrested, screaming "What about our rights?!" to the police. Afterwards, the whole band stayed to meet everyone. It seems so incredible that a band would go through all of that and still wants to meet the fans. That's something I really admire, along with their awesome music. Here's another great song called Slowly, Slowly

"The Great Divide" is another good one, with a lot of emphasis on the chorus of voices. Pretty neat music video too.
