+1: Eisley
I'm on the list +1 for tonight's all-acoustic Eisley show at Swedish American Hall, and I still haven't found someone to go with me. It shouldn't be this hard to take someone to a free show.
Eisley are a quintet of three sisters and a brother, plus another guy, all in their early 20's and hailing from Tyler, Texas, a small town I know too well. I wrote a lot about their major label debut Room Noises (one of my Top 12 of 2005) and I can't wait to hear their new CD Combinations (out August 14th). What I've heard from their MySpace page so far is the ethereal harmonies and pop melodies we expect (think The Sundays, Sixpence None The Richer) with even more weirdness added in, no doubt developed during their extensive touring over the last few years.
Watch the video for their new single "Invasion". (I'd put it in the post, but Warner Bros. has inexplicably turned off embedding for the video. Why do people do that?)
Or just watch this old video for "Marvelous Things".

I would totally go if I lived near you! I've been waiting for Eisley's new album to come out for a long time now, and I'm pumped about it finally being released. I'm also excited about their Chicago show in August. I don't know whether I should make my sis drive me two hours to see them or not yet. I still have a few weeks to think about it. Decisions, decisions...
I love "Marvelous Things," but I have to admit that "I Wasn't Prepared" and "Brightly Wound" are my favorites. *happy sigh* Eisley makes me happy.
It's cool coming across another fan, finally!
