It was a show of nonstop manic glee, as cuddle-pop indie couple-duo Matt & Kim returned to San Francisco to play Noise Pop at the Bottom of the Hill Thursday night. So much love!

Matt and Kim are an insanely cheerful Brooklyn couple who like to make music together. Kim plays the drums and Matt tweedles away on his synthesizer and sings in an endearingly reedy voice. They blasted through a 30 minute set of upbeat, and even more upbeat songs, interspersed with Matt's goofy anecdotes about how he rented their car from SFO and it's a minivan, and talking about how he ate too much at Waziema before their gig at the Independent back in November. Kim doesn't usually talk on the mic but did give a friendly "whassssssup?", to the crowd's shrieked delight.

We were feeling all lame because we went to the show with earplugs -- and then we noticed pretty much everyone around us was rocking the inflatable foam inserts too. Aural health is very important. The earplugs didn't block out the whoooooos! of joy with each M&K song (though they did block out the rapturous singalongs -- well, either that, or Matt was just pointing his mic at the crowd for no reason while not singing along to the choruses of their big hit songs.)

Yea yeah, yea yeah, yea yeah, yea yeah, yea yeah, yea yeah, yea yeah, yea yeah, yea yeah yeah!
