les savy alive- john
Tonight in Austin: The Mohawk has one of the best bills ever . Check it out here. The pot is only sweetened by the fun lineup next door at Club Deville… but I digress away from local music because as much as I am looking forward to seeing Belaire’s newest incarnation (new drummer and new keyboard playa, son!) I am perhaps even more excited about hearing the new Les Savy Fav live album called After The Balls Drop!
I missed them as they came thru Austin supporting the AMAZING Let’s Stay Friends (but somehow we reviewed it anyway) so this is exactly what I need to fill the void. It comes out on the 29th and is digital only? (you so crazy new media) So, as an appetizer., the Brooklyn smart-punks have unleashed a handful of live tracks and a cover pulled from the LSF vaults -- a rendition of Superchunk’s “Precision Auto” from the band’s City Sol performance last year, and three oldies.... check out the MP3s!
