AMERICAN PANCAKE: The Lovely Bad Things Engage In 7 SUBJECTS- Bitcoins for Pizza and the Buffest Viking

For a band like The Lovely Bad Things life on the road means being stuck in a van for 9 or 12 hour stretches at a time, existing on little sleep and killing time mining obscure and not so obscure albums on Spotify, each Lovely Bad Thing scoring accordingly. They gave me high praise on some 80's Jermaine Stewart record.

Currently touring in support of Best Coast, I saw them perform at the iconic 40 Watt Club in Athens, Georgia. They churned out fan favorites like Darth Lauren, Honey Comb Cocoon, Fried Eyes, I Just Want You To Go Away and Hear or Anywhere and their latest single Space Waste but also offered up brand new songs like Teenage Grown Ups, Noon Babies and You Don't Hang Around plus their version of Pavement's You Are A Light which absolutely stunned me.

Now I could of spoken to them about their batch of new songs or their seemingly mad crush on Stephen Malkmus but, instead, chose to throw some random topics at them. Check it out below as well as some vids I shot at the 40 Watt.
