Fueled by creativity, MGMT plays All Points West

What do you get when you mix two young creative minds, synthesizers, shaggy hair and psychedelic drugs in a bowl already filled with more drugs?

Well, MGMT of course.

I don’t usually condone drug use, but if it’s responsible for making great dance-synth-new-new-wave-pop, then by all means. These college graduates are not searching for jobs like everyone else who just graduated because they have the best job in the world: Rock Stars!

I am proud to call Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden, who met at Wesleyan University, my new neighbors as they currently hail from Brooklyn. Sometimes I wish I could live in Brooklyn, wear multicolored Nike Dunks and tight green jeans, but the President says I have to maintain a classy look.

MGMT’s debut album, Oracular Spectacular, blasted onto the dance-pop scene two years ago, and within one year helped make MGMT one of the most sought after bands of 2008. They will be touring this summer playing their hits from Oracular Spectacular, including “Time to Pretend,” “Electric Feel,” and “Kids,” as well as performing new songs from their upcoming album Congratulations.

These kids are fun, energetic and musically talented; a great recipe for a spectacular performance at All Points West on Sunday August 2^nd. And don’t be surprised if I happen to change colors during their performance. It will probably be because of something you just ate.

Catch you on the flip side,
