golden skans
I made it down to Richard's to see the next great British hope, the Klaxons, last night. I'm writing it up for Streethawk, so I'll keep the recap here brief, and say that they were a lot noisier than I expected. I know that "new rave" coinage was a bit of a joke, but their studio output does live up to the term pretty well. Conversely, last night they were loud and sludgy, and came to rock. Definitely not what I thought I'd be hearing, but not disappointing either.
Menomena is at the Red Room on June 2nd.
Young Galaxy, A&C's latest signing, are at the Media Club on June 12th. In Flight Safety supports.
The LCD Soundsystem (James Murphy, Pat Mahoney, Al Doyle) DJ set on May 4th is at Celebrities. The first 250 tix are $15, with the rest going for $20.
Congrats go out to the Choir Practice, who scored the opening spot for Jarvis when he come through next week.
Half Alive is sticking around at the Waldorf until July 6th, when it moves to Richard's. Honestly, I rather like the place as a show venue, but it's always been my personal policy to avoid any club night there.
now playing: Smashing Pumpkins - 33

Sorry for the lack of updates, but I just haven't had a lot to blog about lately...

you really weren't dissapointed by that Klaxons set? Must have had low expectations.

I was sort of expecting them to be really slick and generic sounding dance punk... so, I was sort of down with the noisy, rough sounding vibe.
