Rousing, effortless, and criminally enjoyable, Iceage's 2011 New Brigade tracks in barely at 26 minutes, but unnerves the unsuspecting listener.
The band's debut album, which landed #10 on Bears and Bullets best albums of 2011, showcases the unquestioned potential of the four (at the time) Danish teenagers. Since setting out on their first tour last year, the band has been refining their style and stage presence, converting their chaotic sounds to furious live experiences. Although still learning and still young, the band continues to make a noise all uniquely their own.
Making an effort to catch the act this Monday, at Johnny Brenda's in Philadelphia is all the more important considering how big this band will likely be in a few short years.
Alongside Iceage will be Alex Zhang Hungtai, otherwise known as Dirty Beaches. The Canada-via-Taiwan lo-fi act adores the mellowed, soulful styles of West coast punk. His eerie debut, Badlands, showcased his affectionate and noir take on murky surfer elements and modern rockabilly.
The style obviously differs from the aforementioned Iceage, as well as lead-in act LAW, an emerging experimental duo from Brooklyn. LAW are set to release their studio debut in the near future.
Doors open at 8 p.m., with the shows slated to begin at 9. Tickets are a mere $12, and are still available.
