The Good Natured
What do you get when you combine two hotter than hell siblings Sarah & Hamish McIntosh and drummer George Hinton with indie pop tunes laced with murky goth-esque vocals? UK indie pop trio The Good Natured, thats what. Had I never seen the face of this threesome I’d still have been sold simply on lyrics that touch upon the realities of life such as stripping down to your bare soul and allowing yourself to be taken as you are in songs like “Skeleton”. ahhhh…There is substance here. But there’s no way to describe the childlike excitement I felt in learning that The Good Natured is just as easy on the eyes as they are on the ears…So as I approach the new year with the resolution of going to see as much live music as I can fathom [& afford!] I’m thrilled that The Good Natured are at the start of that expedition. They’ll be playing at Rickshaw Stop on January 19th in San Francisco; the same venue that’s housed some of our favorite new acts like Foster the People and Glass Candy in past months. A great opportunity to catch this lovely trio for an intimate show just days before their first appearance on Jimmy Kimmel [January 23rd]. Until then I’ll be pining over tracks like “Your Body is a Machine” and Hamish’s luscious pompadour.
