Out of the office

Bar Yellow - Office

A sultry rock piano tune for your Sunday morning pleasure. Clatter and bang, shoulder swaying and easy-going la-di-das. In short, a little of everything.

I'm pleased to say Office is a Chicago band--reviving hope in my heart that this town will spawn an exciting indie pop scene similar to what's going on in some West Coast cities. In their promotional materials, the band members work their name (pun absolutely intended) by posing in white collar uniforms and office scenarios. It's not a bad attention-getting device. (Though after years in surgical scrubs, I bet the guys in Clinic could offer a word to the wise.)

Office has an album available to order through their temporary Web site and are scheduled to play South by Southwest in March. Hopefully their time down in Austin will land them a label and some good distribution.
