I Love The Weepies

I've never done this before, but I actually love this new band I've been listening to so much that I'm going to gush about them in a blog post.

They're called The Weepies, and a dear old friend turned me onto them. They're folky and melodic and I love both their voices and their songwriting and every time I listen to them I fall in love more and am compelled to evangelize profusely.

They also have the cutest story ever – "Deb Talan and Steve Tannen began writing together the first night they met and soon formed THE WEEPIES. “We were fans of each other. When we met, there was an electric connection that made us both nervous. After the show, when everyone went home, we stayed up all night playing songs for each other, drinking a bottle of wine and trading an acoustic guitar back and forth in a tiny apartment,” says Talan. "That night has lasted four years so far," adds Tannen.

Check them out... Buy their stuff... Go see them live. :)
