On February 26, 2011, New York’s afro-beat/new-wave band Caveman opened for White Rabbits at a sold out show at New York’s Bowery Ballroom.  Lead singer Matthew Iwanusa announced that it was almost one year ago to the day when Cavemen played their first ever show.  This was my first exposure to their music and I liked what I heard.  Their bio describes their sound as “equal parts chamber pop, dreamscape, and horror film score. At a Caveman show you will hear four-part harmonies, spaced-out guitars, synths, and, yes, much drumming.”  Good stuff.  I was unable to locate free mp3s for you, but you can stream a bunch of songs on their myspace page (link is above).

I met lead singer Matthew Iwanusa of Caveman after the set and he was very cool.  You can see a photo from that experience as well as the setlist after the jump.  Thanks again Matthew and best of luck to Caveman.
