Love letters

There's a long tradition of two-person groups out there, ranging from Flat Duo Jets to The White Stripes to DFA 1979 (Deja Voodoo might be the trendsetters in this regard), and Paul Saulnier and Benjamin Nelson are certainly doing it proud with their distorted indie-rock take on it ... they're like a two-man Dinosaur Jr.

Now this is how a guitarist should dress for that true blue collar 1970s feel.



Paul sings!



Gotta have bass.



Benjamin hits!



Paul frets!



Bonus Benjamin!



Paul shows some tongue.



The whole lot!



Benjamin up close.



Benjamin with extra squiggles.



Fisheye action!



Fisheyed Benjamin!



Bending action!



Weedly-deedly action!



Big finish!



A most excellent set. They'll be conquering Europe in late April and May.
