The Etiquette



One of my favorite bands from my hometown, Milwaukee. I can't express how much I love this band. I saw them by accident at Summerfest while waiting by the stage that the Anniversary and The Promise Ring would later play at. Saw them about 3 times in the early 2000's and listened to their EPs constantly.
Happened to catch them again around 2006 at Summerfest as they played the same day as Kings of Leon.
I would check their website and myspace frequently in the mid 2000's as I thought a full length would have been out. They kept delaying it and I was starting to give up my hope for new material. Just now they are making noise again as they just released their new album titled ...Eons. I believe they were originally going to call it Highly Unstable. I find ...Eons to be a better title, and I believe it is a continuation of the title of their EP, Ages...
So together it would be Ages...Eons.
I now live in Minneapolis and would have loved to have gone to their cd release show in Milwaukee. The band said their album will available on itunes. Hopefully soon...They also mentioned interest in playing Minneapolis!
I highly reccomend picking of their EP and I am positive that I will love the full length.
I found a very interesting article online about the band during the early 2000's. I had no idea they almost signed with a record label and could have been big during the "Garage Rock" scene, ie. The Strokes, The Hives, White Stripes.
