i'm heading to the earl this sunday night to catch the clientele, with athens-based band snowden as the openers. i wrote about snowden for dcist at some point last year, and i recommend them. but i'm really excited about seeing clientele, though i have a sinking feeling they might put on a terrible live show. but their music is gorgeous - sleepy, lush, 60s-style pop - and dare i say that most overused indie musical adjective of all...SHIMMERY? yes, i think i will. because it is super apt. their music is beautiful and shimmery. i've been listening to the songs over at their merge page all morning. give 'em a listen.
