video: Real Estate "Green River>Suburban Beverage"

"Walk Next To You"

Real Estate jamming in a backyard in New Jersey at dusk is exactly how you want to hear their blissful tunes. After morphing from the Julian Lynch band into Alex Bleeker and the Freaks, the group took the stage as Real Estate, with Samuel Franklin (Frat Dad, Fluffy Lumbers) replacing Etienne on drums, for a mini-sesh captured by C.Axel. "Green River > Suburban Beverage," or, what in typical Dead head fashion I've dubbed, "Green Beverage," begins with the sun slowly sinking behind the tree's of the Garden State as Martin Courtney waxes lackadaisically about the joys of taking a stroll by the river side. By the time, "Green River" ebbs and flows into "Suburban Beverage," night has fallen. Lightning bugs were lighting up the backyard. 9+ minutes of sheer groove.

we saw: Real Estate @ Dead Herring

"Do You Feel Alright?"

Saturday nights unseasonably warm weather was a welcome change from the early week blizzard and a good sign for an evening with NJ hazy dream poppers Real Estate. The band 's set was similar to the one they played Tuesday night at Glasslands, albeit this time marred by mic problems rather than power issues. Regardless, while Real Estate certainly has a few mountains to climb, they are undoubtedly on their way to great things. Case in point, Mr. P4k Ryan Schreiber was one of a handful of young rapscallions in attendance, which is a nice way of saying "buy Real Estate's 7" ASAP before it pulls a Vivian Girls and starts going for $80 on eBay." The band is playing a bunch of shows along the East Coast en route to SXSW, where they will play at least 7 shows, none of which are official showcases. I'd recommend checking them out, and copping that Suburban Beverage 7" on white vinyl.
