Time hasn’t allowed for much writing this week, but this latest development calls  for some urgency!  Something new and feathery is flying into the Turf Club tomorrow night.  It’s a National Bird!  No, no – not a bald eagle, and come to think of it, it may not even be that new and shiny (it’s been flapping around the local clubs for a couple years now), but it will be performing and selling something new and shiny.

National Bird is the machination of Minneapolis songwriting duo Dan Wenz and Casey Nelson, and they have a new EP dropping tomorrow called The Rhythm of our Science.  The Rhythm of our Science is five tunes “steeped in all facets of rock” (if such a thing is possible!)  According to the band, their “sound is reminiscent of Roy Orbison’s hair circa 1976 with highlights of Tom Petty’s attitude.”  I’m still not sure exactly what Orbison’s hair or Petty’s attitude sound like (can someone help me out here?), so instead, I might just put it this way: The Rhythm of our Science – 5 songs that sound exactly like five of the sweetest things to have come out of the Twin Cities thus far in 2010.

No kidding, just listen to this, and hit up the Turf Club tomorrow for National Bird’s EP release!  They’ll be joined by Borang favs BNLX, Wizards Are Real, and DJ sets by Psychedelic Shack.
