The Apples in Stereo - Tonight!

I'm going to see The Apples in Stereo tonight at The Casbah, and I am excited.

Apples in Stereo is a 19-year-old band lead by Robert Schneider, who is part of the Elephant 6 collective, a group that spawned several amazing indie acts including Of Montreal and Neutral Milk Hotel. Schneider is a musical wunderkind that produced and arranged Neutral Milk Hotel's In The Airplane Over the Sea. The horn arrangements on that album are nothing short of genius.

AIS's albums are hit-and-miss, but everything from Velocity of Sound on is brilliant.

I'm such a nerd; I actually brought my entire Apples in Stereo cd collection to work today.

We saw them a few years ago and I almost got to talk to Robert, but some douche kept cutting me off to ask about size XXXL t-shirts. True story.

Here's one of their latest videos. Notice his giant, woofy beard. Yet another reason to be a fan:
