Twiglet and Chunk… oh FUCK. those rapscallions take all the rap, chop it up all nice and dicey, add some olive oil (so they claim, but I’m convinced it’s real butter) and what do you know? All of a sudden they’ve cooked up a storm with the scallions thrown in before any opportunity to object! Don’t get me started on Robes and Kripples. Those bitches just don’t know when to stop with the fake blood and doll heads (we all know their little dance routine). Believe me, I’ve witnessed this whole charade twice: once in the shrubs behind Kilpatrick house (at night, no less), and another time during open-swim hour at the Red Hook public pool. This band, this TWIGZ mentality, it’s destroying our youth in the most wonderful way. TWIGZ– the whole gang– (Twiglet, Chunk, Soul Sista, Kripples, and even the Buttmunchers in Amherst) they know no end to the chlorinated chaos they’ve borne forth. God Bless these noble rockateers.

[...] Real Estate kicked it off, opening to a considerable crowd, who all seemed pleased to see them. As my friend Ali described it, it “was a smooth sweet ride”, and I couldn’t agree more. The music washed over us and flowed together so smoothly, I could hardly discern the track shifts. It was more like being invited on a serene jam, in the best of ways. Also doesn’t hurt that they’re the nicest bunch of guys. As for all the lo-fi comparisons (guilty), here’s what frontman Martin has to say, “If we could record in the studio, I would do it in a second,” Courtney says. The Real Estate album, out on Nov. 17, “has definitely got a demo vibe. I think it sounds good for sure, but it’s not a choice we made to sound that way. It’s just the way it is.” Check the rest of the interview with the City Paper, here. I’m tempted to say, well I’m just going to say it, these boys definitely outshined their headliners, and it’s not just my personal opinion (or my Bennington bias), you could feel a definite shift in vibe from the crowd. Check out their previously posted tracks, here. [...]
