I get so proud of Florida bands, my own home state heroes. This scene has just enveloped me so nicely and held my weird little head while I’ve whirred around in awe of its depth. A depth whose reaches trickle up all the way from the mother fuggin’ MIAO (which I’m told is slang for Miami … sure).
Jacuzzi Boys. I’m cheesing just typing it. Their blend of surfer psych rock has a similar effect, and I dare you not to bop to “Double Vision” off of their sophomore self-titled joint. They wrote this about the record on their bandcamp,
“It’s like that movie you once saw. The one with the boy and the girl and the plastic lounger on the beach. ‘Be My Prism’ was the invitation. ‘Black Gloves’ and ‘Double Vision’ the promise. ‘Dust’ was the rising tide. ‘Rubble,’ ‘the dirty uncle. ‘Hotline’ was the lightning storm, and Ultraglide’ was the ending, the part where he drove her home with the windows down.
You remember you liked it.
It stayed with you while you swam alone in your pool that night.”
If you’ve seen any James Ponsoldt film, then you know the indie feeling they speak of and they embody it perfectly.
Most recently, the South Florida guys treated us to their EP, Happy Damage, which takes their previous efforts, amps up the Coastal vibes, adds a dash of distortion, and a whole lot of sandy-picked riffs. Roll up what the good Mother earth gave you and meet them at Will’s Pub this Sunday for a groovin’ good time.
BONUS! BONUS! BONUS!
Inspired by their allusion to salty, teen angst films, I have compiled a list of people you might possibly strip down to your skivvies with and a coordinating Jacuzzi Boys song for just the right tune to take a dusky dip.* 😉
Skinny dipping with your girlfriends #freethenipple — “Wildflower”
Skinny dipping with a fleeting summer fling — “Sun”
Skinny dipping as some form of radical movement (finger to the man) — “Platform Licks”
Skinny dipping in a group setting where your newly minted crush is present — “Electric Days”
