The LMG Monthy kicks off this Thursday (4/23)

21.4.09

things kick off this thursday with a the sharp little 2 band bill of Luxa and Telltale.

Telltale...

Brooklyn’s Telltale showcases an intriguing mix of experimental no-wave, reverb-soaked post-punk, and dark shoegaze. Featuring Eric Gilstrap, Laurie Ruroden, Stephan Cherkashin, and Lauren Andino, the quartet's ear-splitting washes of guitar feedback, deadpan chants and ominous droning wastelands doesn't so much blanket you as it does envelop you, overpowering you with Sonic Youth caterwauls and JAMC-esque walls of sound. The music churns in a slow burn, awash in effects, but there’s an aggression lurking just beneath the surface that maintains an uneasy atmosphere. There’s also a healthy dose of reverb to help wash down all the gauzy noise... "This will destroy you... and you will love every second of it." -The Free Times

Luxa


Luxa has a dim relation to the newer offshoot genres of shoegaze, but enters greater landscapes with a volatile adventurism and a new kind of dynamism in its swirling beauty. raw and tender. complex and simple. consumable and out of reach.

VANISHING POINT PRESENTS:

AUDN (midnight)
www.myspace.com/audnmusic
Brooklyn-based quintet Audn combines the swirling layers of early shoegaze sound with ringing psychedelic guitars, intricate Kraut-rock-inspired textures and a Madchester sensibility. With intertwining guitar and vocal melodies, shifting rhythms, Audn's spacey shoegaze is dreamy but focused.

SOFT (11pm)
www.myspace.com/soft
Taking the psychedelic pop of Manchester's finest, The Stone Roses, as a starting point, and incorporating the lush atmospherics favored by the shoegazers who supplanted them in the early 90's, Soft has condensed a five year era of British music into one seamless, signature sound.

SOREN WELL (10 pm)
www.myspace.com/sorenwellnoise
Maybe Soren Well feels like falling out of the sky a into that place where those babes serve xanax cupcakes on ice skates and bite your ear but it feels good instead of hurting or feeling bad.

TELLTALE (9 pm)
www.myspace.com/telltalemusic
"Telltale’s thick, reverb-soaked post-punk doesn’t so much blanket you as it does envelop you, overpowering you with Sonic Youth-inspired caterwauls and Jesus and Mary Chain-esque walls of sound. This will destroy you, reader, and you will love every second of it" - Free Times (Columbia, SC).

ASTRID PIERCE (8 pm)
www.myspace.com/astridpierce
Born in the jungles of West Bengal and on the banks of Wisconsin, these individuals found homes in New York City and brought their musical influences together to form a uniquely powerful pop-rock band.
