The Submarines @ El Rey 3/1

I saw The Submarines at El Rey this past Thursday, 3/1 and they were amazing. Two people make up the band - oh, and lets not forget their back-up.. ahem, a powerbook G-4. The band is composed of a couple who broke up, wrote songs about each other and got back together - and voila - The Submarines were born.

 

If you like The Shins, Death Cab for Cutie or have a liking to The O.C. soundtrack mixes 1-6 (or whatever they ended on) then you have to check them out.

 

The girl in the group is truly talented - her boyfriend aka band-mate absolutely complements her, but she is the true shining star amongst the pair!

 

As for El Rey - eh, not impressed with the venue. I don't think there should be seats in the front of the theatre - it should be all standing room except for the left and right sides where there are big round tables.

 

Either way, check them out. They deserve it.
