The other week we caught Sun Club touring with Sub Pop-signees Thumpers and we were totally blown away. The Baltimore troupe possess the energy of 1200 Energizer bunnies hopped up on Red Bull; during their half hour set they didn't stop bouncing. What we wrote recently—"They toss their hair like muppets in an epic shampoo commercial and sometimes get so overheated they have to tear off their shirts off"—remains integral to their appeal. Their hysteric, puppy-ish tendancies are the perfect live foil to the band's clattering, glock-assisted indie-pop.
