I’ve been a huge fan of this New York-based threesome for many years and was thrilled to see them play live at the awesome Islington Assembly Hall. (I’d seen the amazing Throwing Muses 4 days earlier at the same venue)
Japanese vocalist/guitarist Kazu Makino and twin Italian brothers, drummer, Simone and guitarist Amedeo Pace, put on a brilliant show that’s probably second only to Sonic Youth for shear discordant, melodic splendour.
I savoured every minute of this and couldn’t wipe the smile off my face for days. Kazu Makino was the real star for me though - what a great vocalist and she plays a mean guitar. what’s not to like?
DavidNext month I’m only playing stuff from bands or artists that I have experienced live. This is a bit of a head start, a band I hold in the highest regard and witnessed live in London in 2014.

DavidThis band never ceases to amaze me. I’m trawling through their entire back catalogue (going back to the mid-90s) where they were first discovered and nurtured by Sonic Youth’s Steve Shelley.
