Single released 23/04/2006
"wherein a band that sound like the most boring children's book ever, presumed synopsis: girl with bunches meets craggy vertical face. girl ascends craggy vertical face, tale concludes with vague but uplifting motivational message for girls with an interest in climbing everywhere - turn out to be crazy Bacchanalian vampires, and something to do with that evil sexy Bright Eyes As well! A joyous plume of two-chord teenage nihlism, Nights Of The Living Dead sees these tap dancing youth from Omaha Nebraska, chisel their own gravestone, chorusing the joys of that clammy, corpse-skinned feeling of crawling out of a club and feeling arrows of sunlight puncturing your eyeballs after a long night snorting half of Bolivia. 'Fourty ounces is Never Enough' drawls Derek Pressnal, The crash of tap-heels bashing out a galloping Shangri-La's backbeat "We wanna pass out in your yard". the sentiments may be morbid but essentially its a hymn to living in the moment. "And I feel so alive" they chorus as one, as garage guitars reach a triumpahnt climax. and then thee sound of glass breaking, and silence. Can't wait for the nest single, although NME suspects they may need to be exhumed first. [NME]
"Buoyant with adolescent sentiment and innocencee, this melodic pop is reminiscent of the energetic spirit of Polyphonic Spree and folky twangs of Bright Eyes" [Angela Balakrishnan for Artrocker]
