Wakey!Wakey! made their presence known over the past couple years by finding a perfect balance between crowd-pleasing pop and art-damaged indie rock. It's something Grubbs learned from New York's anti-folk scene and its founding father, Lach. (The Lower East Side icon mentored Grubbs, which isn't a surprise, Lach shunned the piano the second he heard the Sex Pistols.) To come from such a repressed musical environment and then hear someone like Regina Spektor perform with such abandon shouting and hitting her stool with a drum stick was priceless.
