Brothers and Sisters

My new favorite Austin band is Brothers and Sisters. Here's what I posted about them last week on Austin Metroblogging:

I was watching my TiVo of Red River Rocks on ME Television this morning and caught a music video for a local band called Brothers and Sisters. Not only was I captivated by their chimey guitars and boy/girl Jayhawks-like singsong sound--I enjoyed watching their cutie cute video (directed by Michael Cash) featuring Trail of Dead singer Conrad Keeley and a mophead blondie getting all lovey dovey in the skating rink (Skateland?) under disco lights. Oooh, look at Conrad making puppy dog eyes. Look at the two running into each other as they leave the restrooms. Now they're smooching as the music fades and the guitars are a windin'. I'm probably going to watch this thing 10 more times today just to pick me up when I'm depressed.

Turns out the Bros and Sisses are playing Stubb's Thursday night with Knife in the Water. Maybe some girl will look me in the eye there, and we'll start smooching (yeah, right). But a boy can dream, can't he?

Lately the band's been downplaying that catchy song ("One Night") from the video (they call it their MySpace hit), but you can download it and another one called "Sunday Living" from last Sunday's Local Live performance on KVRX here.
