Video: Suckers are so freaking good! Played The Studio

suckers

If the songs Suckers have been playing live are any indication of their upcoming album, and I’m sure they are, then I already have a top favorite of the year. Watching them live at Webster Hall’s The Studio, where the acoustics seems to be of the crappy variety that ruthlessly blends ordinary distinctions into a big fat muddle, I couldn’t help noticing how much definition these songs seemed to have, and how easily they overcame that muddle-making machine of a venue. I only have the video of “Horn Song” posted after the jump, but every song they played was pristine, with a world of its own. Besides, both Austin and Quinn have divine voices and will sound divine no matter what they sing. Their drummer Brian is distinctly amazing too. They’re playing Crash Mansion next, on Feb 7.

    On Suckers:
    They are the reason why humans fall in love with such things touching but intangible as music or as songs. as voices or as words. as sounds as sweet as a dark melody.
