The footage was taken at one of my favorite sleazy Chicago venues The Empty bottle (I got to see both Deerhoof and Adult. there!). Anyhow, I'd never heard of this band until I saw this video on Forkcast, but I am sold! I love the driving, gritty synth and guitar sounds, the hot and sweaty beat, and the strange vocoded vocals (which kind of remind me of Joe Meek). Their new album Mirrored is due out May 15, and you know I'm gonna get that shit. Also, I think the guy manning the vocals:
Tyondai Braxton is kind of hot, in a Screech from Saved by the Bell kind of way. At least, I appreciate his enthusiasm. Enjoy!
