Whenever our friends at Paste Magazine endorse a band, we tend to check them out immediately. We weren’t surprised to be extremely pleased to find out how cool Louisiana band Givers are, but we were happy and probably a little obsessed. They’ve got Vampire Weekend pop combined with a free-spirit Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros freshness mixed up with an Afro-beat era Paul Simon folkiness. What we’re trying to say is – we like them, a lot.
Givers are on tour and stopping by East Atlanta’s 529 on Friday, May 21. The folks at Paste Magazine are hosting and we’ll be attending. What we’re trying to say is – mark your calendars!
