The Seedy Seeds’ eclectic nature makes great pop

Today is Friday the 13th, so you’re looking for something screwed up and out of the ordinary to do. How about seeing a show that combines accordions, electronica, acoustic guitars, synths and banjo?
Yeah, sounds pretty scary, but it’s the sound Cincinnati’s The Seedy Seeds professionalize in producing.
“Folktronica” is the buzz word a Seedy Seeds promo e-mail loosely used to describe the group. Even then, that might be too tightly fastened. Oh, and they’re not just another Mates of States knock-off. This is sincere, eclectic pop music that expands the genre’s boundaries and tools required.

“Their fresh sound and engaging stage presence has, in just a short time, earned them supporting spots for Man Man, The Young Republic, and The Rosebuds, heavy rotation on WOXY, interest-piquing performances at SXSW and CMJ, and, well, new fans in every city they play in,” according to a news release.
The group played Lexington, Ky. last night and will be in Louisville, Ky. tonight then heading West, North, then North East and such. Check them out of if you can.
