For those of you that mourn (and you should) the loss of The Natural History due to their untimely break up, the best analog poised to fill that void that I have seen since can be best filled at the moment by the Hot IQs. They are from Denver, CO, and like the much missed The Natural History, they are an XTCesque sounding three piece. They left a great first impression. This song was recorded at The Delancey on October 16th.
