The Attachments – “I Wish I Could Always Be As Excited As I Am Now”
Go Away is the debut full length from Berkeley/Oakland indie pop band The Attachments, a record that the group’s been working on for what seems like forever. The ten-song set’s full of bright indie pop, culminating in album closer “I Wish I Could Always Be As Excited As I Am Now.” The Attachments’ CD release party is Saturday, January 29th at the Rickshaw Stop (8:30pm, $10) with The Hot Toddies and Scrabbel, and every attendee gets a copy of the new album.

Review: My First Earthquake, The Downer Party, The Attachments @ Rickshaw, 6/17
June 21, 2010

My First Earthquake has a gift for humor that is tricky to achieve in song. Last Thursday at the Rickshaw Stop they released their new EP, Crush, which has refined what they do best – funny, nerdy dance songs with glimpses of gravity.
Starting with old favorites, “Vow to Vowels” and “Cool in the Cool Way,” MFE got the upfront audience enthusiastically singing along. The most striking element of their performance was frontwoman Rebecca Bortman’s ebullient stage presence and agile voice. With dead-on pitch and unique cadence, Bortman was a pleasure to watch singing live.
