The Shabelles at Mickey's Tavern
Madison power-pop goofballs The Shabelles have a tendency to mix comic lyrics about pool parties and pregnancy scares into their happy-go-lucky hooks, but leader Adam Schabow says they're trying to get "less jokey and quirky" as they work on new songs. Following up on 2007's Making Love With The Shabelles, they've tried to take some cues from The Apples In Stereo, aiming for a more layered, produced sound and working in more synths. How that will work out for the band is anyone's guess, but The Shabelles haven't grown up too much for their own good. New demos still have the band's usual lighthearted, melodic spirit, and even include a country duet.
