The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Let's Wrestle, Knight School at the Bell House 3-13-09
Friday at the Bell House in Brooklyn was an amazing night. From beginning to end the sold out crowd enjoyed three solid acts.
Opening duo Knight School jammed through a quick set of garage driven pop tunes. Although there weren't too many people at the show those that were there were quickly won over.
Moments later the second act -UK's Lets Wrestle played to a crowd that grew with each song. The band sounded purposely clumsy, this matched with their quirkiness made them a great act to watch-literally and figuratively (keep an eye on them in '09). Lyric lines like "drink till we vomit" are convincing rather than forced and the songs are perfect pop yet dirty. There is undoubtedly something enjoyable about this band's jangle punk sound and they have a chance of getting it in front of more ears at SXSW later this week. Watch the video below or click on the above link for examples.
New Musicology NYC fave and headliners The Pains of Being Pure At Heart seem to be on the verge of exploding. Their sound merges numerous 80's legends like Jesus and Mary Chain, Psychedelic Furs, Morrisey and Lush and their live show was like watching a band begin an upward trajectory. We were lucky to be there! If you get a chance you should check out all of these acts at one time or another.

Handsome Furs- "Face Control" Review
Handsome Furs debut album Plague Park sort of snuck up on you. It was a side project after all and that tends to be what side projects do. You do not expect much with side projects. For these are songs written that didn't quite make the cut for Wolf Parade or songs that just didn't jive with the wolfy Wolf Parade sound. It's a side project after all. Face Control does not deny its side project-ness but if side projects allow for artistic growth, than that is what we have here on Face Control. It's a damn good record. Just as on Wolf Parade's At Mount Zoomer the two main songwriters (Spencer Krug and Dan Boeckner) learned to work together and so we can say of husband and wife team of Alexei Perry and Dan Boeckner. The songs are dark and memorable. Check out the closer "Radio Kalininbrad" and opener "Legal Tender"-leave happy. Here's hoping this isn't just a side project.
This album is rated "it's good". It will be released March 10th, 2009 via Sub Pop.
