Parquet Courts video - You Got Me Wonderin' Now

Nearly a week after Parquet Courts debuted its newest EP Tally All The Things That You Broke (listen here), the DIY punk band premiered the goofy lyric video for EP standout "You Got Me Wonderin' Now."

It's a pretty simple video with distorted natural settings and what seems like a depressed Pacman ghost guiding you along. Check it out below.

Tally All The Things That You Broke is out today on What's Your Rupture?

Morgan's Pier, July 24 - Parquet Courts (Preview)

Word clawing through the filtered commentary on last weekend's Pitchfork Music Festival were that Parquet Courts - the New York-via-Texas DIY punk four-piece still reeling from January's debut Light Up Gold - were stoically efficient. Chicago Tribune manic music mind Greg Kot noted the band's performance as furiously quick, saying;

Parquet Courts piling songs together like bumper cars. Frantic pace then brief silence then back in. Yes #p4k

For some, the lack of flash may be too much. But for the band that so quickly found themselves daily on indie XM radio stations after only months of steadily raising their name from the cavernous swarm of fellow New York garage groups, Parquet Courts are striving with marvelous efficiency.

Kot later noted in his short-term study of the band that the guitar play leaves trails of glory from former New York garage icons Television. Obviously comparing any newfound flavors of the scene to the illustrious talents that put together Marquee Moon is fairly high, but it does give credit to the easy uniqueness of the group. But now rather than being a modern punk oddity, Parquet Courts is learning to thrive in its aesthetic, courting even more acclaim of the bright future ahead.

The band will be performing free tonight at Philadelphia's Morgan's Pier with Woods, continuing the venue's free summer concert series. The show is set to begin at 9 p.m. Check the Morgan's Pier website for more details.

Tomorrow, PhilaMOCA; Parquet Courts

Saturday, May 4: Brooklyn-via-Texas upstart punks Parquet Courts will be joined by Scott & Charlene's Wedding, Amanda X, and Household for a special $10-only all-ages show at the PhilaMOCA.

It's a return performance for the band, which has been on the road since October after earning some love for the Light Up Gold LP, after performing at Kung Fu Necktie in mid-January. Noisey recently followed the band on the tour, filming stops at Monterrey's Festival Nrmal and SXSW. Check out the footage below to get a little insight on the band's live performances and grab Light Up Gold today on Dull Tools.

New Parquet Courts video - Borrowed Time

From director Elizabeth Skadden comes the newest video from Brooklyn-via-Texas emerging punk trio Parquet Courts. "Borrowed Time," featured on the band's 2012 LP Light Up Gold, shows the group performing at Brooklyn's Death By Audio for a surprisingly big and rowdy show.

Kung Fu Necktie, Jan. 10 - Parquet Courts (Preview)

Throttled in the post-punk DIY scene in New York, there's diverging sects of bands. Groups like The Men, who rifle through spiraling rhythms and nurturing songs, live off the encompassed energy of the movement. But, more or less, The Men, and groups like it, suit the memories of modern day Paul Westerberg requisites; stylized in a present fury, but treading water with ageless notions of its influence.

Brothers Max and Andrew Savage and Sean Yeaton construct Parquet Courts, another band in the ever-growing stack of notable sounds emerging from Brooklyn. After last year's release Light Up Gold, the trio (originally from Texas) stabilized its sound in a rich Americana punk for an impassioned youth. Few songs express that message as well as "Stoned And Starving," which wonders what a real living is for a modern 20-something in America.

Andrew, the band's lead singer and songwriter, is loud and clear, but rarely so serious that it drags the sentiments through tough tread. For the punk band template, the winning formula is usually calculated mess. But among the littered gems in Light Up Gold, the mess isn't really the point. There's reasoning and proud, boisterous exclamation in the tracks for a band that is seemingly so small at the moment.

Alongside the band's performance at Philly's Kung Fu Necktie tonight will be a slew of smaller bands in a furious set, including; Amanda X, Priests, Mike Bell & The Movies, and The Cats. Tickets for the 9 p.m. show will be available at the door, which follows an 8 p.m. show featuring emerging hardcore band Raspberry Bulbs.
