American Aquarium (official thread)

Great alt-country band from Raleigh, North Carolina. Their new album, Dances for the Lonely (featuring Caitlin Cary), is definitely recommended.

I'm not really a fan of the band name haha, but I love their music so it doesn't really matter.

hahah.... in my head, the 'name' was more of a reference to the OP. ;-) He makes some pretty legit threads on here.

Ohhhh, I see then! Haha. Thank you sir. :-)

[StreetSpirit76]

Good band from what I've heard. I downloaded that album last night but have yet to listen to it in full.

[CellarGhosts]

I think you'll enjoy it. Seems to be one of the most overlooked albums this year.

[neo506]

Going to see these guys tonight! Im stoked

[CellarGhosts]

Awesome! let us know how the show goes dude.

[shit stroll]

:thumbup:


maybe i'll catch them live at some point.

[neo506]

They put on a hell of a fun show. Started off kinda slow, but after a few shots and a few songs BJ settled into it and his voice got much better. They played a good mix of songs from their older albums and a few new ones off their upcoming album. He said they are planning to get the album out in Spring next year but it depends on their label.

just read a nice little write up in the local weekly alternative paper, pretty cool. always forget about this band, and they play 'round these parts quite often too.

[CellarGhosts]

I honestly didn't even realize they had a new album until I saw in on my last.fm upcoming album recs haha. Can't wait to take a listen.

[AP_Punk]

haha. i still haven't heard it yet. :bluesad:

[shit stroll]

[AP_Punk]

[cshadows2887]

The riyl and posters in this thread make me think this should be on my radar...

[CellarGhosts]

[cshadows2887]

Haha. Your recommendation is good enough for me. They go on the list.

[flyingmonkey711]

Haha. Your recommendation is good enough for me. They go on the list.

Dude, these guys are phenomenal. One of my fav country/rock bands. Dances for the Lonely was in my top albums of 2009.
