My Disco kick off their month long European tour at the wonderful Lovelite tonight supported by Pttrns.
My Disco – ‘Young’ by theQuietus
Founded in 2003, Melbourne, Australia’s My Disco have spent nearly a decade defining and refining their sound in a way that defies rock music’s most enduring tropes. Each new album finds them subtracting a little more, applying minimalist instincts to relentless, stripped-bare post-punk grooves. The result is a hypnotic, almost subconscious body music that lives and breathes with the persistent repetition of a heartbeat and the menacing precision of a sniper.
Four smart ass hipshakers from Cologne stole some congas in the park from a hippie who doesn’t know how to play it properly to save the world. PTTRNS mingle some tight percussion with 80s influenced post punk a la gang of four in an homage to old funk legends like Curtis Mayfield.
