Antennas Up

“Don’t Wait Up” by Antennas Up, from Antennas Up (self-released):

When it comes to local bands, it’s easy to lose touch. Then one night, when you least expect it and you’re drunk as a skunk, you catch this one band in Westport and you’re all like, “Damn — you got hot.” Such is the case with Antennas Up, a slick and musically sexy foursome that was Distance to Empty until a couple of months ago. With new singer Lonnie Coleman in the fold and a new sound more in line with Jamie Lidell than Guster, the band changed its name to reflect its new game: a dance-worthy blend of rock, funk and soul grooves.
