We know what you’re thinking: “Hey, all four members of Bright Light Social Hour have the same length hair — they’re a jam band! Hey, it’s 2012 now, OK? Stop being so judgmental. The Austin four-piece is burning through the indie-buzz stratosphere these days, so they’re obviously doing something right — namely playing catchy music that seamlessly incorporates blues, pop and funk in a way that transcends those three genres being thrown together in a sentence.
