I like you, broken bones and all

The music is characterized by the continuous overlapping dual track vocals singing about the facts and beauty of simple things. It’d fit quite snugly onto the Juno soundtrack–which is a pretty good place to be right now.

Based in South Philly, Tell Me, Bicycle is the duo of Patrick Walsh and Elizabeth Vega (Pat and Lisa), an adorably cute couple…both 20 years old…(I’m stretching my internet stalking capabilities to the max here.) I’m going to venture a guess and say they’re both students at Philly’s University of the Arts, just based on how I found them. But that’s not so important because what we’re talking about here is music…right?

It’s clear the reason TMB’s music has it’s unique sound because these kids are so very cute in their couple-y-ness, and they gracefully avoid the gag line by making super cool music.

Sweet Sexin Toss — Tell Me, Bicycle

Up until today there was a link on MySpace to buy their album, You Make South Philly Pretty. It might still be available via inquiry–which I will investigate as soon as my friend request is accepted.

The male half of TMB is also part of The Writers Club. Similar sound, but I think the combination of guy-girl vocals is more aurally interesting and the songwriting more endearing in Tell Me, Bicycle.
