Times New Viking played at the South Campus gateway Friday, and I missed the first half of the show since they started a half-hour early, but what I did see, was awesome. TNV are a Columbus band who have just recently gotten relatively indie-famous this past year, and even put out an album on Matador. They play pop songs with a broken drum, boy-girl vocals and gallons of fuzz poured on top of everything. On multiple occasions during the show, Adam, the drummer, put the microphone in his mouth, and made what sounded like a hybrid between grunting and humming, because after all, it's hard to talk in words with a microphone in your mouth. Anyway, Times New Viking is pretty cool, the show was cool, and if you're into any of the fuzzy bands that have started getting attention in the past two years, you better check TNV out, because they're better than most of those bands, and they give less of a f**k, which is important because apathy means they're cool. Here's a good way to start. They're from the 614 so show some love.
