We live in a curious Pop music era. Bands can go from playing small rooms one day to massive festivals the next — then back to the clubs again just as quickly. Case in point: Little Green Cars’ buzzed-about 2013 debut, Absolute Zero, drew invitations for the Irish Indie Rock fivesome to play such profile-broadening venues as South by Southwest, Coachella and Lollapalooza just months after the album’s release. Yet when the band’s follow-up, the recently released Ephemera, was played at a recent house party I attended, not one of the 20 or so largely musically savvy attendees had ever heard of the band. Read more about the band in this week’s Sound Advice.
