thebiglebowski Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 So I'm a really big fan of the TV show The League. Just discovered Pete from that show was in this band. That has got me kind of interested. Any opinions on them? Worth tracking down some material? That is a pretty dumb band name, though...

scottheisel Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Such a great band. One of the best live shows I ever saw. It's quirky indie pop that's keyboards/guitar/drums, with off-kilter melodies and falsetto vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electricsnow Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 This just blew my mind as well. Crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I want to get into this show so badly, but it seems for every episode I find funny, there's 2 or 3 duds that follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's on par with this season of always sunny (but older always sunny eats its lunch). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I love that record so much. I new about him being on the League, just found out a few weeks ago though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I found out about these guys from the big polyvinyl sale they had back in December. Funny cos I love the league too and had no idea the band and the show were affiliated. Their self titled is great btw. They also have a 7" that I havent heard.

steviex2shoes Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Wow, this just kind of blew my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metersandmiles Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I like this record a lot. Mark Duplass (Pete from The League) also writes/directs films with his brother Jay. Their most recent film, Cyrus, stars John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill and Marisa Tomei. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Cyrus is in my Netflix queue, and I didn't know Pete did it. Will probably bump it higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviex2shoes Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Yeah i saw the preview for that movie a long while ago and added it my queue, thought it looked good. I'm going to do the same and bump it up higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Cyrus is ok. Kinda weird, kinda funny, kinda boring. I wasn't giving it my full attention though, I was working while watching it. Marisa Tomei is a fox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesomexloveus Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 i dont like the league is very funny at all. i think it's kind of a 'guy' show, though. also, i wanted to like this band but i just can't get into them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 did you see the episode where pete got andre's girlfriend to give him a testicular exam? i had pains from laughter. they do take the "man" thing a bit far, and i'm not much of a sports fan myself, but the comedy is fucking gold. lot's of it is improv and they really pull it off well.

siphon123 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I thought Cyrus was awesome. It's worth a watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
