Check it out. Carla from Plumtree talks about how her new band is coming along, for the first time...

"The band has almost settled on a name (Bontempi) and a title for the album (Fake Bad). We've been practicing a lot and have about twelve to fifteen songs. In a couple weeks, we will lay down some demo tracks with Stephen Kelly. The music ranges from slow and introspective to slow and nonsensical. It's stripped-down and moody and I do lots of the picky guitar stuff that I like so much. Lots of 3-part harmonies (we're a 3-piece). We are hugely influenced by Yo La Tengo and the Kinks at the moment. What else can I say? My mom gave us the thumbs up after our last practice."

Bontempi is almost like Canti... which if you don't know, is the name that me and Jacob are currently thinking of using for our band. Anyway... the wonderful thought of Carla and Lynette doing slow introspective Yo La Tengo style music goes well with my expensive toast today.
