With one record and an extensive NYC gig history to their name, the young NYU-born outfit Sam Champion has evolved. Remarkably. Head to Stereogum for a band profile/review of this "gettin'-better-all-the time" act (and an MP3). New album to be recorded soon, and if you don't hear it from their MP3s, just wait till '07. And go see 'em. Also there and lovin' the Sam -- and not so much the Two Gallants -- were Jerry and Jeff. Wes was there too, but seemed to dig and discuss Two Gallants more than the rest. Cold War Kids made their NYC debut with an early set; they were better at Pianos last night. More Champion, Gallants and CWK pics after the jump.
