I had seen Leftover Cuties a few weeks ago with Milo Greene and Honey Honey and they feel like a relic from the past transported to absorb today’s culture (much like Pauly Shore’s Encino Man). The band’s beautiful pop orchestration of ukelele, upright bass, accordion, and drums set the mood for vocalist Shirli McAllen’s gorgeous prohibition era voice. I’ve yet to mention their speakeasy inspired attire or their smile inducing cover of Lady Gaga’s "Poker Face".
The group will be playing tonight, May 2nd @ The Bardot in case the mood strikes to sip down a few whiskeys. If you miss the show, Leftover Cuties debut LP, Places to Go, comes out May 31st.
