The Marked Men @ Saint Vitus 2/7/2014

Denton, TX punks The Marked Men just wrapped up a busy weekend in NYC, playing three sold-out shows in two days. As the band haven’t released a new album since 2009 and have only ever played NYC a handful of times, there were some people who hit all three shows. I hit the Friday night (2/7) show and these Texans’ ability to burn white-hot can make a full convert out of a casual fan like myself. The band, who spent the afternoon rehearsing at Vitus, packed in a lot of songs into their tight 45-minute, no-encore set, and it was a sing-a-long pretty much the entire time. Openers Tenement (fist-pumping, pedal-to-the-metal rock) who played the Don Giovanni showcase a day earlier and Future Punx (Oingo Boingo style new wave) were great too.

If you missed The Marked Men’s shows, unARTig was there, video camera in hand and has full sets from Friday’s show, plus Saturday’s (2/8) matinee and night show.. You can watch those, and check out setlists for all three shows, below.

Future Punx have a couple NYC shows coming up: February 22 at Glasslands with Christines and Yvette (tix); and opening for La Femme at Glasslands on March 23.

Videos and setlists of all three The Marked Men shows below…
