DOWNLOAD: Holy Fuck - Lovely Allen (No Age Remix) (MP3)
If you've never experienced the joys of Holy Fuck you'd probably assume that they are a hardcore thrash band, over-pierced anarchist punks or pimpled college kids trying to wind up their middle-class parents.Holy Fuck played two NYC shows with A Place To Bury Strangers over this Memorial Day Weekend. Tim Griffin was able to make it to their midnight set in Brooklyn on Saturday (5/23). More pictures from that show below...But behind the tongue-in-cheek name, the Canadian experimental act deliver a sublime psychedelic slab of analogue electronica that owes almost as much to Stockhausen as sweat-drenched indie/dance nights.

bowery was fantastic.

All the bands were great: the Crocodiles were a sizzling cross between Suicide and Lou Reed; A Place To Bury Strangers were trippy like Sonic Youth crossed with Pink Floyd; Holy Fuck were like mid-70s electric Miles Davis funk mixed with Kraftwerk. What a deal for $15!

Crocodiles did open the Saturday set at Bowery Ballroom.
