Although Wiscon has achieved a level of fame around the world second only to Taco bell's Waffle tacos and the dude who invented Jazzercise, it’s important to us that we remember that in our heart of hearts we’re still a Seattle Band.
With that in mind we bring you Seattle Music Throwback Thursdays, a series of weekly posts honoring the dearly departed and but not nearly as famous as us Seattle musical acts that we think should get a little of that Wiscon Shine.
This week we focus on The New Mexicans, which played mathy, spazzy Indie Rock from 2001- 2005. They released one seven inch and a full length, which if you try real hard you can still probably find on Amazon right now. Members of this group went on to form Band of Horses and Grand Archives, who you may have heard of...or not. I don't know.
