Strap on your snow shoes, kiddies, cuz we got a Winter Rock Advisory showing up on the super-mega HD pinpoint doppler AccuWeather radar! Tonight AutoVaughn are playing at Nashville's most comeback-iest bar, The 5 Spot, and they're bringing some new tunes with 'em. They'll be performing freshly minted rockage from their forthcoming album Don't Just Stand There, Bust a Move and one man on the inside says, "These new songs are way more out-there than anything previously recorded, and I think we might just win over some of the indie kids this time around. I'm hearing some SSPU influence this time around."

I have no idea what what "SSPU" stands for, though my editor tells me it's something called "Silver Sun Pick Ups," which I'll assume involves precious metals and garbage collection. What I do know about, though, is the brilliance of one Mr. Marvin Young, AKA Young MC. If the boys in AV are going to hitch their wagon to that gravy train, then I whole-heartedly endorse the endeavor.

Added bonus after the jump.

That has got to be the worst album title of the year. Did they ask for album title donations this time around?

Yes, AV is going to play after the regular show tonight at the 5 spot. It's just a special midnight-ish thing separate from the other show. We encourage skeptics and fans to hang around to hear the new stuff. 100% new unrecorded music tonight and most has never been performed live.
I am very excited about the new music. It's a new band, as far as I'm concerned, and being off the road for the last 3 months has been SO good for the writing and rehearsing. So many obscure influences this time around but still accessible. There is a remote possibility that I'm biased, but I think you should check this out.
Album title is tentative. Do you really think it's the worst album title of the year? It's only March. Also, AV is still accepting donations whether album title ideas or cash money. Y SO SRS?

I'm hoping they call it "Meaningless Do and the Verb-Noun Progressive" but I've had a serious boner for linguistics lately...
