i saw walter meego open up for the presets two summers ago in brooklyn and i really liked their music style, combining some more traditional (rock) guitar sounds with happy-pop-electro. their stage presence was good too: you know that stupid shit noise musicians do when they're pretending to be hendrix? it was the opposite of that. it was on the money.
it's great when you REALLY like the opener when you go to a bigger electro show. sometimes you find something new that you could be really into. i grabbed a bunch of their tracks, and golf carted around all summer in a narnia type landscape with walter meego as my perfect soundtrack. it was magical.
i'm sure most of you have "forever" (which is an awesome track) but "got me going" is something special. when i saw them live and wrote the words down on a receipt so i'd remember to find it. that makes it a big deal. sure, it's the live version, but that's really the only version i've found around. it's a little dark (in a good way) compared to some of their other stuff and it has a tight guitar solo that's some where in between my sharona and cliffs of dover.
walter meego's debut album "voyager" is real good. grab it on itunes. their blog says that their next album is mixed and recorded, but needs to be mastered. if it's as quality as voyager it's going to be a big release. also if you head over to their blog, there are a bunch of demo tracks to check out.
