Austin quartet The Bright Light Social Hour is a band to watch. After beating out over 1,000 other bands to win an early slot at last year's Austin City Limits Music Festival, BLSH has continued riding the wave. In 2010, the band was named Best Indie Band at the 2010 Austin Music Awards. Is it bassist Jack O'Brien's mustache? Nope, couldn't be that, could it? White Denim and The Black and White Years are doing pretty well with the 'stache thing too. More likely it's the ability to successfully blend hard-driving modern rock with slick funk and dance grooves? Well, is that so unique these days anyway? Both of the aforementioned bands also do that pretty well.
Then it must be the cookies. Huh? Well, according to Addie Broyles at Austin360's Relish Austin blog, The Bright Light Social Hour bakes a pretty mean brown sugar cookie too. What are they putting in those cookies? We can only speculate, right? Fortunately, the article includes the recipe. So bake some, and while you do so, check out the video for "Back and Forth." This one gets a lot of play time on ME TV, and it is a fave of Rachel's and mine.
