Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

As I'm getting ready to depart for Texas, I've been listening to as much music from Austin City Limits Bands as I can...handle. Kings of Leon in San Antonio and at the fest excites me, not only because of the long history between WDMO and the Kings, but because its about that time when they debut some new songs.

I was looking at the schedule and realized, I forgot TED LEO! If you don't already know this (1) Ted Leo is from New Jersey, REPRESENT! and (2) his music is great. And as far as I'm concerned he puts on a great live show. So much energy, its almost the only way to listen to Ted Leo and the Rx. The studio stuff is good, but the live energy is GREAT. When I listened to them for the first time it convinced me to see then down at the Church in Philadelphia, but the live show made me a fan.

I was going to share some MP3's for you to get a taste of Ted and the Rx, and as I was looking for a few tidbits, I see that he has tons music for you on his website. Way to spread it around Ted. Its great when bands try to get their music out there like that and realize the positive impact.

And don't shy away from the studio stuff either, its great too. And without that we'd have no live stuff. I think. Tyranny of Distance is my personal favorite, its without an doubt in my personal top 20.

Anyway if you like what you hear, buy these.
