Death by Audio: As you’ll see in the picture after the jump, Brooklyn’s City Center makes music with percussion and lots of cables. Says one-man-band Fred, “It sounds like rattle rattle rattle sparrkkkkk wheeeerrrrrr,” which of course sounds kind of fabulous. He’s playing with old friend Hawnay Troof, who he insists is the one of the “party starters of our generation”, and whose record release is the occasion for the party tonight. Joining them are Vivian Girls, Urxed, and special guest(s). Urxed is mainly Robert Barber, who also plays in High Places, which Fred claims is quite possibly his favorite band after The Grateful Dead and Joy Division(!).
Hurray for Passion Pit’s four-week residency kicking off at Pianos tonight. There’s going to be a lot of basic, pleasant pop rock there, except for Murray Flexor whose electronica would seem slightly out of place if it weren’t for Passion Pit’s own gadgetry. UK’s Sky Larkin will play an early set, and joining them are TheToothaches and You Can Be a Wesley.
