I just find this . . . "charming" I guess is the word I'm looking for.
This is Tilly and the Wall, a band that my eldest told me about a while ago and I've finally looked up one of their videos.
What can you say about a band from Nebraska (excellent!) that doesn't have a drummer because a tap-dancer seemed more appropriate?

I don't know if I could listen to a full album of tap danced rhythms. Still, I like their originality/inventiveness and the music seems great.
As for a live performance, I could stand them opening for someone else - about a five or six song set would be as much as I could take.

nhe,
They would probably classify themselves as indie-pop or something like that. Gypsy music, basically.
They're beyond opening band status, but they're still playing the small club circuit. 300-400 people a night for about an hour.
It's gimmicky, but it's fun. They write good pop songs.

Man, that drummer would be worn out after a two hour concert.
I like it! What "genre" would they be classified under, or have they made up their own?
