Win It! Free Tickets to Two Great Shows!

Posted by Megan Seling on Fri, Oct 9, 2009 at 1:06 PM

Junior Boys are playing Chop Suey tomorrow night, and Eric Grandy says that the last time they were in town, they were surprisingly and totally fantastic. From this week's U&Cs:

Junior Boys, Circlesquare
(Chop Suey) I wasn't that stoked to see Junior Boys last time they came through town. For one thing, I was more excited about catching their opening act, the inimitable Max Tundra, but for another, I remembered their live sets being kind of anemic, a problem given that their icy-cool elecro pop is already pretty understated on record. But either I remembered wrong or else the duo have stepped up their game, because that show killed. The Boys gradually dialed up the intensity, building from frosty soul jams to subtly persuasive percussive tracks, making for a surprisingly sweaty dance party for a Sunday night. So color me converted—I can't wait to see how they'll warm things up on a proper Saturday night. ERIC GRANDY
