This Wednesday’s MGMT show at the HMML has a lil’ local connection to it. Albeit a tenuous one.

One of the dude’s dad’s works for a sister paper, in Memphis, of our very own Monterey County Herald.

Just let that sink in.

That is a tidbit to be gleaned from this article in the MCW previewing the show. More importantly, the article interviews not a band member per se, but that father, Bruce VanWyngarden, I just talked about.

That’s cool, right? When do you read about a band from their parents’ point of view?

Of course, that inevitably opens up a Pandora’s box of multi-layered reverse-Oedpial conspiracies. But I won’t go there.

I’ll just let music speak for itself.
