Tonight: Wallpaper


These past couples of years have been hella good to Oakland based electro-pop project Wallpaper. The band has blown up since their last gig round these ways to the Bug Jar in Rochester, NY in October 2009 (barring their spot on 98pxy’s summer jam yesterday). Three years ago, it was an awkwardly uncomfortable room on a fall Sunday night where straight-faced drummer Arjun Singh and thizz-faced frontman Ricky Reed sang songs about free cell phones and  bantered in-between tunes about Jim Kelly and St. Bonaventure University (to which Reed has family ties to). Now, you can’t escape the band’s singles “Fucking Best Song Ever” and “#STUPiDFACEDD,” which have combined over five million views on youtube and are a constant go-to for MTVU’s playlist. 


Wallpaper’s unqiue fun-time party-pop anthems about getting your iPod stolen, booty-tweetin’, and drinking til you walk like a t-rex, are oozing with personality and wit. Don’t miss out on your chance to see one of the most entertaining acts to come through Buffalo this summer. You’re really going to have to bring it, Seether.   The show is at Soundlab (110 Pearl St.) with $13 doors at 8pm. Check out the song that made me like this band...




...and the video that made me love them.
