10 for 2010: #10 Keepaway
We’ve talked about Keepaway before, but I don’t think our 10 to watch in 2010 series would be complete without them. And I’m not just saying that because they’re our friends. In many ways, Keepaway, with their guitar, drums and synth combo, are typical of the Brooklyn Electronic/Indie scene.
