Residuels

Philly garage punks Residuels have covered The Stooges and had the cover praised by Iggy Pop himself. They just opened the Philly stop of The Sonics’ tour, and this Thursday (4/16) they’ll be in NYC to open for the Buzzcocks show at Irving Plaza. So you probably have an idea of what you’re getting from them — classic-sounding stuff inspired by ’60s garage rock and early punk — and they do it well. Listen to their recent cassingle, “Valley Of Fire” (with Stoogers cover “I Got A Right” on the flip), below.

The Buzzcocks/Residuels show also has Otherworldy Things on the bill. Tickets are still available and we’re also giving away a pair. Details below.
