Tambourines + lit-up-and-set-list-etched drums + matching glistening suits
[ 7/28 ] Tambourines + lit-up-and-set-list-etched drums + matching glistening suits = last Monday night at Kung Fu Necktie. The minimal rock ménage à trios included opening Philly indies Likers, Baltimore’s two-piece phenom Ed Schrader’s Music Beat (very drum and bass heavy), and old school hipsters Chain and the Gang. Ian Svenonius and his fellow crime rockers’ album Minimum Rock N Roll was released to the masses by D.C.’s Dischord Records a few months back, and there’s no shortage of too-cool-for-school bass riffs and hollerin’ in true ’50s style.
