The
O.C. Book The Hippest Bands Into Their Hip TV Night Club
August 23, 2004
Once the Beverly Hills 90210 crowd failed to
even come close to passing as young adults, a bunch of younger,
hipper looking kids moved in to have the same wild and crazy adventures.
The only thing missing on The O.C., of course,
is party central, the club of clubs, The Peach Pit and its adjoining
Peach Pit After Dark. Assuming that Ian Ziering burnt it down in
a drunken haze, Ryan, Seth, Marissa and Summer have been without
a proper hang out for too long. Next season, Modest Mouse, The Killers
and The Walkmen will enter Orange County to help create a new place
for all of the break-ups, make-outs, shake-ups and break-downs.
Not only do the kids on The O.C. dress
well, look good and lead far more interesting lives than anyone
I know, they’re also pretty hip when it comes to music.
Franz Ferdinand and Interpol could be heard in the background
last season, and songs by Jet, Spoon and The Dandy Warhols
were included on the Music From The O.C. album released last
March. The O.C. hotspot, the Bait Shop, could be the venue
that exposes indie bands to a whole new audience, as little
teeny-bopper girls (and middle-aged men who can’t get
enough of the scandal) are seeing and listening to music they
might never hear otherwise.
According to MTV.com, The Killers and The Walkmen
have already taped their appearances for the upcoming season, both
playing a couple of songs to the excitable masses. The Walkmen will
be in the new season’s third episode, performing "What’s
In It For Me" and "Little House Of Savages" off of
Bows + Arrows, with two characters having a surprise make out session
on the floor. And then the girl runs off. Who kisses who? Why does
she run off? Suspense!
The Killers performed "Smile Like You Mean
It" and "Everything Will Be Alright" and while Modest
Mouse has yet to reach the sandy shores, if they don’t perform
"Float On" you can colour me shocked. That’s a deep
shade of pink, for those wondering.
