Missoula Rabble, I got home from work today and found these two rabble hanging out on my porch. Cameron, left, and Andy are two of Missoula's most talented musicians who play in The Lil' Smokies, voted Best Band in Best of Missoula this year. Apparently they're also looking for an apartment. I asked them a few questions about their music while they waited for my landlord. The Lil' Smokies have been together for four years and just released their first self-titled album this year. "We played a lot of covers and this year we are finally writing our own songs," Andy said. Andy describes their sound as cerebral folk music with an emphasis on lyrics and melody. "Melody is what gets me up in the morning," said Andy. Cameron laughed and said, "Melody is what keeps me up at night. And for a few hours between morning and night we exchange melodies."
