I saw Office at SXSW this year and liked 'em a lot. I didn't think the record was quite as good as their live show, but I'm very much looking forward to hearing more from them. Randy -- Mike Bennett wrote: Office's Q + A album was in my top 10 of 2006. Their upcoming album will have re-recorded versions of songs off of their first two albums and some new songs. Greg's description is in the ballpark (though Masson hates The Cars' comparison is hard to avoid). They have great stage presence (including a percussionist/keyboardist who is perpetual energy and a looker too) and usually keep the Office motif on the stage -- I've seen them play with typewriters and stuff as stage decor. I wish I had mustered up the energy to make it out for this gig. Mike Bennett NP: The Pretty Things -- Balboa Island (pretty good for a band that's been recording since 1963).
