MARK PICKEREL AND HIS PRAYING HANDS, DANCE MUSIC FOR DEPRESSED PEOPLE, TENNIS PRO, PARTMAN PARTHORSE, WE WROTE THE BOOK ON CONNECTORS
(Showbox) One thing I definitely don’t want to hear if I’m ever depressed is dance music—fucking dance music is hard enough to handle when I’m feeling pretty okay about things, let alone when I want to open a vein or at the very least sleep for days. But new-to-the-scene Dance Music for Depressed People aren’t obnoxiously optimistic or boasting beats that knock holes in your skull. The quintet—Miss G, R. Kennedy-Onasis, Lars Jurgin, Zanne Kamp, and Foxy Moron—play sometimes spacey lo-fi pop with melodies and harmonies that remind me as much of the Microphones (in a much more pared down sense) as they do something a little more quirky and simplistic like early Blow. They’re so new that tonight is their first live show and it’s also a benefit for a friend of the band who was recently diagnosed with “a very rare, very aggressive, and very deadly form of brain cancer.” Definitely depressing, but Dance Music for Depressed People will be there as aural Paxil.
