April 6th, 2010Xiu Xiu, ftr. tUnE-yArDs @ Horn Gallery, KC
Tues 4/6/10, 9pm
UPDATE:
It was Jamie and Angela Seo, guitar and a keyboard respectively. The show was good, they played Dear God,… stuff and some oldies-but-goodies (ObGs). Despite the horn’s size, they didn’t interact or even look at the audience much. Kinda felt like a hit-and-run performance, with a lot of ppl studying had no idea where that xiu xiu sound was coming from, it was hella loud.
you can listen to a little clip

ORIGINAL:
Xiu Xiu is coming through tonight. Excited to see them, they really defend their musical niche… lyrically disturbing, often sonically terrifying – with frantic drum machine and screeching/discordant electronics, and beautiful. You have to be in some mood.
‘Clowne Towne’ or ‘I Love the Valley OH!’ off Fabulous Muscles are accessible tracks.
The opener, tUnE-yArDs… dunno. I read a Micachu comparison, with sparse/tribal beats and octave-shifting vocals, aand ukulele, sweet.
