Irishman Brian Kelly is the man behind So Cow.  He looks like Buddy Holly and on this track anyway channels Ray Davies, Robin Hitchcock, and early Squeeze. 

With lyrics that are both playful and original ("All the townies are smoking pot / I'm the boy that hormones forgot"), Kelly seems like a fresh new face for the smart pop scene.

Check out the song "Halcyon Days" from the band's debut record released last year.  Have not heard the whole album, but based on this song alone, I'm very curious.

He'll be at SXSW in March.
