@sarah,

it's common knowledge that fallon is a closeted bro with alt taste.

every time you mention this "band" you lose some indie cred
they're "fun" live but still not good music, so who cares

lolwut's picture

@Lola, lolz you got it backwards. awesome songs, crap live. lolz

Lola's picture

@lolwut, i really can't force myself to listen to their music aside from at a show, where even sometimes i can't be forced to listen and thus excuse myself, it hurts a lot. but you know, to each his own

whats wrong with an artist going mainstream as long as they put out decent music?? the problem with mainstream is that most of it is shit.

After getting ''mani/pedi'' girls hit the cafe for smoothies and a salad before going to a shopping spree;

''OMG girls, have u heard of that band Neon Indian on Jimmy Fallon yesterday? They're totally awesome ( checkin her nails)''

''Yes, totally. How awesome would it be if we could arrange them for Lily's bday party? The guys would be totally in love with us, u know the indie chick style whatever. (checkin the other people sitting at the cafe to see if they are good enough to be there)''

It's simply wrong...going mainstream is a problem because bands are not able to put out decent music once they land to the mainstream land. Now they also have to meet mainstreamers' demands which means changing their style and music to adapt themselves to the Generation of Bieber& Efron Headz. ughhhh... Therefore, sadly, Neon Indian is dead.

@minniemina, it's a good thing that he has VEGA
i bet your mainstream ass doesn't even listen to vega

best part is they had a boston show booked the same day and cancelled cause of this

zj's picture

@minniemina, always wanted a way to explain why I didn't like the idea of my bands going mnstrm. This is pretty much my nightmare here. Worst part is good bands get shitty, everyone starts to like them and you must then hate them in spite of their great early stuff

And are they still gonna be in ny this wknd? I was trying to see their dj set in brooklyn at glasslands gallery on Sunday

feel like neo injun will make huge strides for "his people", and take back "their land" form the "white devil" in 2k___.

johnny's picture

the funny thing is they have no other material than what they had out before. furthermore the expectations or whatever that you guys think a band has when they go mainstream depends on what the band wants, not what you want. million young is terrible. toro y moi is excellent if you wanna draw a comparison. seriously, for a band to make an art record like neon did and get that large is amazing. the pixies got big... still cool, still good. come on now. we arent 14.
