United States of Electronica (tonight) | Yes or No?

United States of Electronica "Seriously, I wouldn’t hype this band if they weren’t capable of DEMOLISHING your standards of a live show." [Yeti Don't Dance]

"An S Club 7 for twentysomething Americans, Seattle’s U.S.E. (short for United State of Electronica) make high-energy dance-pop from grungy guitars and filter-house vocoders. Unabashed, unironic—they’re occasionally unstomachable too. Diehards disagree; the Fluxblog guy once said to me on a message board, 'They could totally beat your favorite band in an energy-off.' Well OK! With Candy Whales." [Nick Sylvester for the VV] (thx J)

"USE is easily one of the top 5 live acts I've ever seen. Going to see Sufjan Snoozans instead of them would be insane. USE will bring the joy." Everyone needs to see them and have their mind BLOWN. [Fluxblog]

"United States of Electronica are amaaaazing..." [conanphile's livejournal]

"Here are some blurry camera photos of The Rakes brilliant performance at Cinespace. In order to actually see them, one had to wait through one of the worst bands with one of the worst names in the world, The United States of Electronica (I'd link to them, but I'd rather not encourage them any further). The Rakes did redeem the night wonderfully." [Untouched by Work or Duty]

U.S.E. play an early show at Knitting Factory in NYC tonight (Oct 7, doors 7PM)

(Saw 'em in Atlanta on Tuesday with five other lucky people. The clueless masses were apparently across town catching the Electric Six. *snif* Give 'em the mad mob they deserve, please.)
