buffaBLOG Summer Party Artist Spotlight: The Malones


We snapped this photo of The Malones a second after we revealed they had been hand picked to play this Saturday at the buffaBLOG Summer Party. Chosen by the sheer force of popular demand. You can sort of tease all this out from the expressions on their faces. Expressions that tell the classic story of finish-line relief achieved after years of being the underdog, the moment when the suffering has transpired and eternal bliss has finally soaked in.

Alright, so this isn't entirely true, it's more like two truths and a lie, or better yet two truths and like, seven lies but nonetheless The Malones are actually taking the stage this Saturday and we did hand select them and they are riding that wave of eternal bliss. Here are some more true facts - their eponymous EP was featured as our album of the week, their crafty songs are highly ear receptive displays of bass, drums, guitar, and vocals (if you want a comparison you could loosely toss around names like The Strokes, Vampire Weekend, and Arctic Monkeys), they were formed last year and already they have become among the cream of the crop as far as home-town talent goes. Oh yeah, we can hardly wait for the fall, when they're said to be releasing a debut LP.  All the more reason for you to come watch them this Saturday at Duke's beginning at 10pm.
