These United States June 5, 2010

Simultaneously understated and invigorating, the folkie psych-rockers in These United States craft poetic little airy songs that will renew your love for music. Led by singer/guitarist Jesse Elliott, they've been turning heads since their inception. Pushing the Wilco aesthetic forward with smart vocals and tight twangy guitars, These United States clearly love language -- dancing syllables together with upbeat roadhouse rhythms. It's Paul Simon with an indie spirit and a southern swagger, and it's coming to StageOne.
