Givers at Bardot January 19

Nestled alongside the Black Keys' El Camino, Fleet Foxes' Helplessness Blues, and Cults' self-titled effort, Givers' up-tempo debut album, In Light, earned a spot on New Times' Best of 2011 list, an accolade that the Louisiana-based band likely overlooked.

What do you give a bunch of Givers?

Fret not. This Thursday, when Givers plays Bardot's Living Room Sessions concert series, we will attempt to present the quintet with a makeshift award commemorating its buzz-worthy achievements. But what do you give a Giver?

1. Washboard: Arguably the most versatile instrument on the planet, the washboard makes for not only great zydeco indie-pop but also a portable laundry room. Hurray for cleanliness and Creole rhythm!

2. Band-Aid adhesive bandages: Be it on guitar strings, drumsticks, washboards, or whatever, musicians are always injuring their fingers. Surely, this band would appreciate a big box of Johnson & Johnson's finest.

3. Dashikis: Givers already blends elements of African percussion. Why not blend elements of African garb?

4. Antacids: Creole food can be a little spicy, even for a band from Louisiana. And nothing is worse than heartburn.

5. Parachute: Givers will only go "Up Up Up" in 2012.
