A Little Night Music
As we prepare for our first annual migration up the eastern seaboard to our home planet of New York, we thought we'd take this opportunity to stop being selfish and introduce you to a few bands along the way that we've been keeping to ourselves.
First stop: Baltimore, MD.
Daggerhearts are a trio originally hailing from Poughkeepsie, New York who have settled comfortably into the Baltimore music scene in the last ten months. FAB once heard them described as "synth-pop." We have absolutely no idea what this means, but we know there is a synthesizer in there somewhere underneath the self-consciously sultry vocals of Victoria Legrand. You can often catch Daggerhearts at the Talking Head in Baltimore or sample some of their music on MySpace.
On the way: Wandering I-95 between DC and Brooklyn.
The Fatales have this unique quality that is at once quirkily ethereal yet balls-on precise, musically speaking. In a good way. A really good way. We won't divulge too much here because we think you should go check them out on MySpace and then haul yourself to the Mercury Lounge on May 31st.
Last stop: New York, New York.
The Unsacred Hearts is your standard four-man New York indie punk act with a sound and a presence that are anything but standard. Their self-titled EP features the kind of seriously rocking, hard-driving beats that FAB suspects make your insides shake if you're lucky enough to be in the same room with them. If you're in town, check out the Unsacred Hearts May 25th at Death Disco New York at the Delancey. Of course, you can always check them out first on MySpace.
