UK band Sauna Youth touring U.S. in September
Much has changed since 1977 but dissatisfaction with the status quo remains a nagging influence on music. Thirty-eight years since Buzzcocks’ anthem “Boredom,” London’s Sauna Youth sound just as alive and angry railing against “Monotony,” and declaring “I am nervous, I am anxious, I am nervous, I won’t stop” on “Modern Living.” Both are on the band’s second album, Distractions, which hits the ground running and tears through 14 songs in less than 30 minutes, only slowing down once. – [BrooklynVegan Favorite LPs of 2015]
UK indie rock agitators Sauna Youth, who put out one of the best LPs of last year, are coming over for their first U.S. tour. Things kick off with two shows in NYC: Union Pool on September 10 with Future Punx and Bodega, and then Cake Shop on September 11 (lineup TBA). Tickets for both those shows are on sale now.
