While there are a myriad of bands that attempt to emulate the sounds of late 60’s garage rock, most fall flat, mere shadows or copies of an imagined golden past. While these groups are sadly beholden to a misplaced nostalgic reverence, somehow New Hampshire’s THE MIGS side-stepped that perennial pitfall and vaulted above their sonic peers not by replicating a sound, but inspiring a feeling. Live, the group explodes with an infectious energy to let loose and move in step to those jocular, bouncy grooves. This visceral enthusiam bleeds into their tapes, which capture the looseness and levity of their live performance with just a pinch of low fidelity tape hiss and reverb to compliment their carefree aesthetic. Check out their dreamy new video, directed by MassArt student Michael Bucuzzo and Christina Kolozsvary, and catch ’em tonight at Middlesex.
