gig of the week [23/07]

this week I have two gigs of the week.

as the Olympics looms for the Londoners, I suggest GETTING THE FUCK OUT OF TOWN on Friday:

Teen Creeps presents: Frankie Rose + Curxes + Charleston @ Green Door Store, Brighton.

Frankie Rose

Frankie Rose spent a few years kicking around the Brooklyn jangle-pop scene before striking out on her own: As the most charismatic member of Vivian Girls, Crystal Stilts, and Dum Dum Girls, she was a reliable bolt of onstage electricity enlivening the often noncommittal presences around her. It was pretty clear, even then, that she was eventually destined for bigger things.
Interstellar is a big, second-album leap of faith into deeper waters, a sparkling synth-pop record that wants to mean something to dreamy, hyper-emotional twentysomethings. For her model, she’s taken the impression of some of the dreamiest, most hyper-emotional records of her youth. The production on Interstellar is gorgeous, and clearly modeled on the Cure’s big, panoramic pop records, like Disintegration: booming-canyon drums, acres of spannable horizon…

Curxes

What more can I say? Very much looking forward to this.

Charleston

Two single releases this year on Good Bait, but I know that they’re trying out a new set with their new singles with a new live set-up. I got to hear a snippet the other day, and can’t wait to see what it sounds like in full.

Second gig of the week is back in London.

CLUB MOTHERFUCKER SUMMER SPECIAL w/Teengirl Fantasy, Becoming Real, Seams, Eaux @ Corsica Studios, Elephant & Castle.

Teengirl Fantasy

Fresh from R&S Boiler Room take-over.
