One cool thing about living in Boston is the local music scene. Even more so than New York, it seems that just about everyone here has some kind of music hustle. They sing, they rap, they play an instrument. Makes me wish I’d kept playing the guitar I had when I was a kid.
Anyhow, a friend of mine posted this video on his Facebook page, and I kinda fell in love. The name of the band is Halston. The members are Carolos Halston and Dando Halston. They’re from Boston. Their music is fun, danceable and a little “Eighties”, if you know what I mean. Something tells me they were listening to a lot of Duran Duran and The B-52’s back in the day. Their video is delightfully low-budget-they’re obviously not taking themselves too seriously, and altogether, it should make for a great start to your weekend! Check ’em out!

Who the hell are they?!
They’re a band that are as magical as the glitter that unicorns shit. [There’s my innapropriate comment for you, Halston magic-music-makers, dearests!]
This has become one of my favorite bands to listen to, on account that I found them on Mysepace a while ago.
I like their style a lot.
And I hope to see a lot more of them in the future. :3

Halston is bouncy, Halston is fun, Halston is niiiice….Go and have a listen.
They may well be as magical as a unicorns glittery shit – if I ever find any I will let you know.

Always been a freakin’ fan.
They may even be far greater than the glitter that unicorns shit. Halston is the Antelope’s Apricots. The Panthers Pomegrantite. The Lions Loincloth.
Nothing can compare to their lovely music. I’ll always be a fan of their wacky, fun, and unique tunes.
