Liars,
The Apes - Warsaw $15
Since folks've
been giving Liars
eulogies since 2004’s brilliant and divisive They Were
Wrong So We Drowned, which gave me even more respect for the
band, I’ve been quite thrilled with the Cinderella story of
Drums
Not Dead – their finest album to date and
one of the year’s best. Their success is even sweeter because
they continue to ride in their own maverick direction, letting everyone
else eat their dust. Drums Not Dead is a powerful trance-inducing
collection that prominently features gigantic tribal percussion,
the swarming hum of the didgeridoo, Gregorian chanting, and ectoplasmic
drones - without ever coming off as gimmicky or overdone. While
I’m have no idea whether or they’ll lug along the exotic
instruments and project the videos that are included with the new
album, and I haven’t seen Liars since the old lineup that
featured a different rhythm section that’s gone on to become
two-thirds of n0-things,
I can’t see the band putting on a show that will be anything
less than sweaty and goosebump-inducing. With DC's Apes,
and, if you go on Monday, you'll find the same bill with the addition
of the legendary Alan
Vega.
