So I’m sitting in the movie theater about two weeks ago and this giant ad comes on for, of all things, JC Penny. You can’t really escape these ads, you’re captive to your popcorn and giant bucket of Diet Coke, right? But the thing that caught my ear was that it was set to a Hockey song. A song I had featured the video for here on Love Shack last fall. Wow! Hockey’s that big now, eh? Well, “Too Fake” is still a great song. But they’ve now released a new video for “Song Away” and I’ll tell ya, sometimes it’s better to just click on the sound and not watch. Apologies to the band, I guess I’m a cantankerous old lady, but someone out there will like this video 
It’s a cool song, I like the group a lot and can’t wait to hear them here at Schuba’s, one of my favorite clubs, in October. Enjoy! xoxo

Ooh! This is a great song! I have never heard of Hockey before but I am thoroughly enjoying this. It sounds a bit like disco-pop Hot Hot Heat to me; and that’s no bad thing as far as I’m concerned. I am Spotifying them… now!
Why am I Gandhi? Can I be Cheryl Tweedy? Please?
heheh nope, you get what ya get here on LSB, Matt. I like this too, it’s fun, we can’t help that Tom is a damn grumpy grump. Thanks for popping in here, xoxo
catchy. annoyingly catchy. one of those songs I’ll love for the first 10 listens and then tire of it…
still, that’s 10 more listens than most new stuff.
