Run Chico Run

Hailing from Western Canada, Run Chico Run are part of that new wave of post fun poking jagged garage love po bands, a la Unicorns, Erase Errata and Xiu Xiu. Whereas the other side of the stream consists of garage rock, this contains driving, saturated, grainy keyboards like an angry yet geekier Yes meets debutera Elvis Costello with an affinity for the Beattles. There's enough awkward punk style breaks in the beats and minor explosions each time the keys make a change. Perfect stuff. - Exclaim! Magazine

From the thick, jazzy opening rythms of Run Chico Run's fourth full-length release, Shashbo is a sleek angular explosion of art-pop creativity and deliriously vibrant instrumentation. Sexy, noirish keyboards and Flaming Lips-style melodic eccentricity carry much of the record. - Uptown Magazine
