I’ve been listening to HF’s LP quite a bit recently and it’s really pretty good. Great, actually. Lots of electronica, laptops, drum & bass, with sparse vocals. I’ve heard rumors of excellent live performances.

Opening the show will be Brooklyn’s A Place To Bury Strangers, whom I know little about, and Seattle’s own The Purrs. Sort of an odd pairing, but hey, whatever works. I checked out APTBS’s online tunes the other day, and it sounds pretty interesting. Dark, spacey, and a bit more organic than Holy Fuck. The music kinda reminded me of Voyager One at warp speed (get it?), or an offspring of Depeche Mode, Bauhaus, the J&MC. For the new millenium. Even though those dudes are all still making music; but you just KNOW they’re making it for an old millenium.
