Free Energy in NYC, on tour w/ Foreign Born, playing SXSW

by Bill Pearis

Philadelphia's Free Energy's debut album, Stuck on Nothing, was released digitally this week (vinyl and CD lovers will have to wait till May 4). Produced by LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy, it's a top down and the volume up summer album if I ever heard one, ten songs about living in the moment, being young, and not wasting a minute of it -- all set to super-catchy, late '70s twin-lead, fist-pumping, anthemic rock. I've been listening to it a lot. The band are good live too.

Free Energy play tonight at Mercury Lounge and tomorrow (3/12) at Knitting Factory. Both shows are with L.A.'s underrated Foreign Born who are worth seeing in their own right. (Read more about them in a previous TWII.) Free Energy are going to SXSW too, and all tour dates are with their album cover art, below...

i saw them open for hot chip this year and i had a good time. The couple of hateful posters above are just sad, hateful people who like to tear people down.

Saw these guys at the Bell House a few months ago and they were just embarrassingly stupid. I couldn't tell if they were supposed to be a joke or what.

Glad to see you were up at 3am, on the internet, wagging your finger at all the hate.
