Animal Talk kept spirits high at the TT’s Farewell Blowout. How could you not smile during “Mama Was A Teenage Rocker?” Ah, memories.
Animal Talk @ Atwood’s Tavern 5.7.2015
Thanks to Jed Gottlieb putting together this fine show at Atwood’s, I am reminded that Animal Talk are a ton of fun. It’s not like I forgot about their insanely catchy melodies or undeniable groove. I have the knowledge. Sometimes you just need a little nudge to make it feel more real. Like with “don’t read the comments” or “that milkshake looks delicious but you’re lactose intolerant.” Animal Talk are an excellent band that will make you want to move.
Animal Talk @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 6.12.2014
Animal Talk never fail to make me forget whatever is going on in the world and just have a good time. Their sets are one shakin’ hookfest after another. Nothin’ but smiles on this guy after their TT’s show.
Animal Talk @ The Middle East Downstairs 12.14.2013
If Steven Kilgore’s smokin’ jacket doesn’t get you in the holiday spirit, perhaps Animal Talk covering “Last Christmas” will. These guys always put on a good show, and this set at Indie Rock Ranger’s Holiday Spectacular is no exception. Let it snow. We’re having a good time downstairs at The Middle East.
Animal Talk @ The Middle East Upstairs 1.19.2013
Animal Talk closed out The Susan Constant’s EP release show with an indie dance rock flourish. These guys are always a good time.
Animal Talk – “Into The Sun” @ Radio 6.9.2012
I’m mildly obsessed with this song. It’s been running through my head on an endless loop since Saturday night. I think I’m OK with this.

Animal Talk @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 4.2.2012
Animal Talk closed their Rumble set with a killer version of their song “Into The Sun”.* It was an early Rumble highlight for me. They may not have won the night, but their rock/pop/dance hybrid got some bodies moving. That seems like a win to me.
Preliminary Night #2 Winner: Garvy J. And The Secret Pockets Of Hope And Resistance
* A song I love so much I put it on my most recent Spotify playlist (which you can listen to here).
Animal Talk @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 3.8.2012
By the end of Animal Talk’s set at TT’s, I was hooked. These guys seem to have stumbled upon same magical concoction of rock, pop and dance music that allows each aspect to shine. I look forward to catching these guys again at The Rumble…
Oh! Animal Talk also did a spot-on cover of “Easy Lover”.* I feel like that should be mentioned.
* Brendan Boogie was, perhaps, more excited about this than any adult should have been. Good for him.
