Here's a brand new video from Spirit Kid , a band that gets better and better with every single they put out and every show they play. The video, directed by Avi Paul Weinstein , makes lead singer/songwriter Emeen look like a hologram which is kind of cool. The 60s tinged pop songs are the kind that get stuck in your head instantly, consider this your warning and enjoy. Spirit Kid - The Wrong Kind of Money [...]

Spirit Kid made it to the finals of the Rock n' Roll Rumble on a wild card. The Rumble is a Boston event where local bands are slotted against each other each night and given a score by judges to determine the winner of each night. It made for an energetic month of concerts that kept me out way too late on weeknights. But it was worth it to see so much of the local talent at one event. Spirit Kid - You Lit Up For Me [...]

The Everyday Visuals , The Luxury , Oranjuly , and Spirit Kid Friday at Middle East Downstairs "> (Add to your Google Calendar) Spirit Kid 's self-titled album unfolds like an old public service announcement recorded on a dusty video tape and jammed, wrong side up, into the VCR. It elicits feelings of disturbance but also enthrallment, not unlike the experience of watching a tall moustached man in spandex carrying on about sexual harassment in the workplace. [...]

Spirit Kid "My Imagination" from avi paul weinstein on Vimeo . Hailing from Cambridge, Massachusetts, Emeen Z is the wizard behind SPIRIT KID , an act that builds on the indie-pop foundation that bands like APPLES IN STEREO have so brilliantly forged. Here's a video that just popped into our mailbox from Z for " My Imagination ". alt=rss

What's old is new again, again. These days, it seems like there's lots of indie bands who sound like they just busted out of the 1960s/1970s. Spirit Kid is another such band. But where most of these throwback, retro groups, Spirit Kid doesn't go for garage rock or psychedelia. Instead, they harken back to the sunnier side of old-time rock and roll: Recalling The Beach Boys, The Zombies, and, most of all, Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra (without the disco influence). You know, the same sound imitated (much worse) by The Brady Kids, The Monkees, and The Partridge [...]

Foundwaves video contributor Extraneous Noise has put together a bill of four solid bands on Wednesday at the Middle East Upstairs. Headlining and one of four Foundwaves Weekly Picks on the bill, Spirit Kid weaves an infectious and smile-inducing sound, bringing the listener to a happy place where Ferris Bueller's playing hooky and dancing in the parade. Fronted by multi-instrumentalist/songwrit er Emeen Zarookian, the band takes cues from elements popularized by British Invasion rockers, but adds a potent dash of psychedelic, soul, and funk flair. [...]

Cambridge, MA "The World Doesn't Stop" Spirit Kid on MySpace Spirit Kid on The Hype Machine

There is a lot of chillwave, synth and otherwise abnormal (but often great) music out there these days. Lets cut the oddness for a minute and listen to a couple raucous guitar tracks - one gritty and modern, the other delightfully retro. While I guess only the Cloud Nothings actually can be described as a jam, its worth noting that seemingly straightforward guitar rock can be innovative and fun these days too. And now back to your regularly scheduled hipster programming. Cloud Nothings - Morgan ( YSI ) Spirit Kid - [...]
