There were quite a few in our group (ahem, Kerri) who didn't really get Grísalappalísa. I thought they were awesome and was grinning like a fool through their whole crazy set. They're a bit like an old school punk band, with flavors of ska and a lot of quirk. Here, check out this video to get an idea of what I'm talking about.
Crystal Castles - Char
I'm afraid they're gonna find you
And there's nothing that I can do
A century of your priceless time
To commit a victimless crime
Vow to caress your rashes
Vow to punish with lashes
You can hide inside my locket
Put a leash on when they walk you
Next year say you didn't want to
Do they chastise you when you stray
Sallow skin and they can't look away
Start a collection of brine
Because all you do is cry
Wood ticks whisper to console you
We've seen and heard a bit about weekend one from ACL and that info has gotten us particularly excited about a few acts, including Canadian electropop duo Crystal Castles tomorrow afternoon. Last year I posted an oldie from the group, today's MIS is from their latest album, Amnesty.
RIYL: Chvrches, Grimes, Phantogram, Poliça
Upcoming Shows
Bad//Dreems - Feeling Remains
My brother turned me on to Adelaide rockers Bad//Dreems and it's good stuff. They play a mostly straight-ahead rock style that feels throwback, with solid 70's or 80's punk influences, as clearly evidenced by today's Most Important, "Feeling Remains", which also has a hilarious video.
RIYL: Hot Snakes, Pissed Jeans, Wire, X
