Imagine a band that’s a mix between the Walkmen and Vampire Weekend. Then imagine this hybrid band playing on the Jersey shore. This basically sums up Real Estate, which is a band to get to know now and buy the t-shirt before they become the next big thing in 2010 (like the Walkmen and Vampire Weekend the past two years). A really good summer beach band that is perfect for your backyard BBQ and just indie enough to impress your jerky hipster neighbor.

They’re currently on tour all around New York State. Once they get to DC, you can be sure I’ll be there.

Their Myspace page (am I really going to link to Myspace?) can be found here. Their page name, appropriately enough, is “Letsrockthebeach.” I like it!

Here are some MP3 samples, courtesy of Stereogum:

Fake Blues

Suburban Beverage

Black Lake <–my favorite

Stereogum also posted a short oveview of the band, which you can find here.

Enjoy!
