Class Actress at Highline Ballroom Thursday

Elizabeth Harper has a singer-songwriter kinda name. And she used to be and sorta still is. But she does so in a non-singer-songwriter way. In a more new wave kinda way. Or somethin'. She and her band perform under the moniker Class Actress and they make good music.

If you don't believe me then believe Pitchfork (Rising!) and Grizzly Bear (They are on Terrible Records the new label run by Chris Taylor). What more could you ask for? How bout live music...Thursday, January 7th with Au Revoir Simone. Doors are at 7pm, Class Actress on at 9:30pm

Class Actress, Acrylics, Violens on Wednesday, December 9th at the Mercury Lounge

Some super sweet bands at the the MerLou on a Wednesday in December. Been listening to the Acrylics EP (you can download it for free there too) a lot lately and it's sorta dope. I think you'll like it to if you know what's good. Also Class Actress is the other one that will be playing and Pitchfork is hyping them so they gotta be good, right? Violens EP I listened to a lot some time a go but when I listened to it today I didn't get excited.

Might go to this show.

Here's an Acrylics tune called "All of the Fire"

Here's a Class Actress song called "Careful What You Say"

Where else can you get these things but Musicology NYC?
