We Are Scientists | Art Brut | The Spinto Band (Gypsy Tea Room Tea Room)
Weren't We Are Scientists supposed to be like a huge band or something? You would have expected them to be if you had read the praise that many of the major MP3 blogs were giving them back in January. It was supposed to be a really big year for them, but considering that they haven't graduated from the Tea Room to the Ball Room, I guess it wasn't as big as many expected. This development is surprising to me, considering that they seem to have the perfect formula for fake indie to mainstream crossover success: a watered down amalgamation of just about every retro sound that has been fashionable over the past five years, mixed in with just the right amount of pop-punk to keep the kids bouncing. And OMG, they're from Brooklyn too! Of course, they really aren't quite as bad as all that makes them sound, but I would hardly tell you that they are worth seeing. Art Brut is a different story all together: almost everything about them tells me that I should like them, and I've seen them put on two very good live shows in the past year. However, I'm just not crazy about them. I like the Fall, and Television Personalities, and Buzzcocks, and everything else they seem to be influenced by, but theres something hold me back. I don't know why. The Spinto Band I can take or leave for the most part, but they might actually be the most interesting band on this bill. Probably not the coolest thing to say, but its true.

Lost Generation w/ Wanz (Cavern upstairs)
What Wanz has tonight:

"Stand out tracks in tonights set: The new Slits ep(playing emo's nov.11th), some other more rare Slits material, Serena Maneesh(playing Rubber Gloves later this week, and of course Cygnus(Our laptop deathmatch Champ). I will have a few copies of The Lost Generation Ultimate krautrock mixtape on me tonight. If you wanna copy just let me know. Come by and have a drink and say hi."

shut the fuck up delaughter. no one asked you.

new slits? I didn't know anything about it. Thats exciting.

i love everything too.

wow. art brut was one of my favorite shows in awhile - singer reminded me of Mark E Smith + Jarvis Cocker + David Gedge, which i guess = my dream man (right). also i love wanz' dj nite & that new slits is rad.

the new slits ep is an absolute must buy. It is brilliant. I was not expecting much out of the reunion. I was wrong.

And OMG, they're frizzom Brooklyn too n shit! Of course, they really aren't quite as bad as all thizzay makes tizzy sound, but I would hardly tell you that tizzle is wiznorth see'n

I like about 1/3 of Art Brut's album. Some songs are funny, but the ones that aren't funny, aren't any good(Emily Kane, Bad Weekend, Moving to L.A., Rusted Guns). I do however like the songs My Little Brother, Formed a Band, Modern Art, and Good Weekend. I heard they put on a great show live from several people, but I'm not sold on them totally.

Their no King Missle.

must not curse here, oh... wait a sec, this ain't texasgigs.......

Holy fuck, this show is going to fucking SUCK ASS!!! Every one of those bands is terrible!
