Wednesday 07.30.08: WHITE LIES @ echo (early show)
Posted by samantha - filed in events
Until earlier this month, these three 19/20-year-olds were the UK’s hottest unsigned band. Now, following an A&R scrum at their debut gig in February, the west Londoners have signed to Universal’s Fiction imprint. White Lies’ gloom-pop influences are obvious – the Teardrop Explodes, Echo & the Bunnymen and Joy Division – but it takes some talent to channel them into music as striking, accomplished and downright catchy as this. The leap in quality from the trio’s previous band is astonishing. – Guardian

Wednesday 07.30.08: JAY REATARD / CHEAP TIME @ echo (late show)

Jay Reatard
Solo debuts aren’t supposed to be this good. Jay Reatard has been kicking around Memphis since a teen, starting in the 1990s with the dirty-word punk of The Reatards, and lately in the thrashy synth-centered Lost Sounds. The brilliant Blood Visions falls somewhere in between – rambunctious and roaring, jerking nervously all the way. Tons of highlights here – tons of them – hitting on just about every style that’s had the word “punk” thrown at it as an epithet. It adds up sounding closest to the not-quite-new-wave rock that bounced between ambitious indies and majors around 1980; it resembles the twisted naiveté of the era, before bands realized that building a hook around “I will kill you” was going to keep them off the airwaves.
