Man, this week's theme must be "music that makes me wanna go ape-shit". I've really been diggin' the debut from Team Robespierre, "Everything's Perfect", in fact I've been goin' ape-shit over it. Electroclash with a metal overtone and drenched in a snotty, fuck-it-all attitude; reminiscent of one of my favorite bands, Le Tigre, only darker. There's no deep message here, but that's not the point; it's rapid-fire observations of modern society wrapped in ass-shakin' beats...the world's fucked so you might as well dance your ass off before the end. Alright, I'm in.
They're playing a Man Man after-show show in Athens, GA at Secret Squirrel (766 W. Broad St., underneath Park at the Point on the corner of Church St. & Broad St. at 1am.) with White Mice and Ponytail for $5 bucks. After seeing that pic above, I bet their live show is fucking insane.
"Everything's Perfect" is available now via Impose Records, or from eMusic.
