There is a band called Trampled By Turtles. That statement right there is the coolest way to start a week, how cute! I can honestly say this weeks television lite is full of bands I am unfamiliar with. This is a great thing, there are new things to discover rather than yet another week of Steven Tylers and fun. Seems a bit country heavy but hey, this is summer in America and for some reason that become synonymous with twang.
Please note that Best Coast is on Fallon Tuesday night and interestingly enough Iman will be at their NYC show on that exact same day.
