Starfuckers @ The Vera Project, 11/01/08

Author keli   Filed under Music   October 19, 2008  

Starfuckers will be stopping be Seattles’ Vera Project on November 1st, 2008. The experience of seeing their live performance delivers a certain nostalgia; a reminder of what it was like to be a teenager: inspired, curious, open, hungry for anything new, and smiling uncontrollably. Whether dressed in ’80s era Brooklyn hip-hop style or electro clash, the three bring a new experience and unpredictability to every show. 

Doors @ 7:30pm, Tickets 7$ dos.

Hailing from the big apple, Longwave has been making a name for themselves since early 2000.  After perfecting their sound they were hand picked by fellow New Yorkers, The Strokes to be the opening act for their North American Tour. Over the next few years, Longwave continued touring with some of music biggest names, including Spoon, Kasabian, and The Vines, a in early 2008 began laying down tracks for their newest studio album, Secrets Are Sinister set for release November 11th, 2008. The sound is big, strong, serene and an almost declarative statement about their commitment to making music, expanding their horizons, making a new fan out of every listener and brings together collective experience and fresh approaches to music.
