Thunderbirds are Now! Rock, Tour & Play Knitting Factory

Thunderbirds are now! Joey was all like “Did you know Thunderbirds are Now! are playing at Knitting Factory on May 12th? And I was all like “Well sorta, maybe…should I know about this?” And then Tiny Mix Tapes was all like “these guys are Detroit’s newest sensation and they’re touring all over the freakin place,” and Pitchfork was like, “yeah, we’ll give them an 8.” I was like “hmmm.” Splendid was all like “Give me these guys over the Futureheads or Bloc Party any day”. So I went and got myself a copy of Justamustache. After hearing them for myself, I wondered why anyone would compare them to Bloc Party. (I’m thinking more Warped Tour than Coachella), and Soviet Panda was just like, “their live show is phenomenal,” and I didn’t really need convincing because I was already over at Ticketweb buying myself one of those $7.00 tickets. (Don’t say I didn’t warn you, and don’t say I ended this post without mentioning Les Savy Fav once.)
