These lads are commonly linked with Franz Ferdinand -mostly because they're both from Glasgow and because members of each band were cohorts in another musical outfit before the Franz Frenzy. But their music is quite different, showcasing some dance fever as Franz F. does, but with a more punk-rockabilly swag. Their debut album, Cookies, is a solid debut and hints at possible greatness for these 3 nice kids. Nice is definitely a word to describe them. All 3 were very appreciative and were trying to get intimate with the small crowd. They play to please. They have their live act down and you get the sense that they very much do care how the concert experience goes for each of their customers, nothing being done haphazardly, each bop-di-boop measured swimmingly and not reckless or lazy -and they do bop-di-boop a lot. What does bop-di-boop mean? I don't know, but it sounds fitting for some of the key lyrical pieces of many of 1990s' tracks. And no, there is no "the" or apostrophe in their name. So get it straight..cause they'll be around a while. As the predictable NYC music scene goes, 1990s will return probably in 2 years to play at Bowery -maybe Mercury- but not long after they'll hit Bowery. Then 2 years later they'll be back into he routine, playing Webster Hall. And then a few years down the road, we may have them at Radio City Music Hall or the Theatre at Madison Square Garden. That's how it literally went for the Decemberists.
