El Guapo were a pretty damn good band, but then they broke up/disappeared/I dunno what happened. Turns out this is what happened to two of them – they moved to NYC and formed Shy Child. And as much as I liked their original group, this one might be even better. This is how dance-rock should be done, it would be nice of some of the more popular ones would recognize this fact and stop sucking. In a lot of ways this is a lot like El Guapo but with tons of keyboards and synths layered on top…catchy stuff, dancy beats, I have no doubt that if the cool kids catch onto this band they’ll be huge in no time, and it will be well deserved.
