Introducing Gayngs | A Midwestern Indie Supergroup (Mostly)

The music supergroup is either a hit or a miss, and given it’s overall record, it is usually a miss.  Last year it was N.A.S.A.

Don’t Sleep On: Vampire Hands

No these guys have no relation to Vampire Weekend except their relation of putting out great music.  Vampire Hands is  a band from my old stomping grounds of Minneapolis.
