THE DRUMS
not talking about the Boredoms drum circle, Emiliana Torrini's Jungle Drums, that "cool chick" from the Ting Tings chanting, not even talking about The Drums from San Francisco.
i'm talking about Jonathan Pierce and Jacob Graham who played their very first show, with Connor Hanwick and Adam Kessler helping them out live, only about a month ago at the Cake Shop in New York City. just two days before i deejayed at the very same venue at the To Bad Catholics, Katie Eastburn, Nick Krgovich and Skeletons gigs. i can not fucking believe i missed that show!
in any case, they reside in Brooklyn by way of Florida which makes total sense if you listen to their music. now just imagine a Manchester childhood along with it and you could get to the whole bastard child of post-punk and new wave with a slight surf-induced vibe they got going on. very psyched about this stuff! i predict a signing to Domino for Europe by the fall, w00p w00p.
