Band Alligators Should Play the Crocodile

Posted by on Mon, May 11, 2009 at 10:40 AM

Produced by Death Cab for Cutie’s Jason McGerr at his Seattle-based studio Two Sticks Audio, the new album by Alligators, Piggy & Cups, came out April 7 on Applehouse Records. Below is a representative slice of the Kitsap County band’s pretty, gossamer-light pop in the Zombies/Left Banke/Beach Boys/Todd Rundgren continuum. This record sneakily grows on you with repeated listens.

Alligators’ upcoming live dates include:

05/15 Bellingham, WA @ Boundary Bay
05/26 Seattle, WA @ Chop Suey
05/30 Seattle, WA @ The Comet

Alligators did play the Crocodile on April 16 when they were on a bill with H is For Hellgate and Portugal. The Man. They put on a great live show, which is what turned me on to them and convinced me to buy a record from them.

Here's a small bit about what I thought:

Actually.... Alligators have already played The Crocodile, as one of the opening acts for Portugal. The Man, back on April 16.

How about a Crocodiles/Alligators double-bill @ the Croc? Too much?

Oy. I now actually remember chuckling at that circumstance. Thanks for the reminder.

I personally, have been thinking about a Crocodiles/Alligators double bill for months now and will do everything in my power to make that happen.
