| 'Out on the street they call it murder.' |
| I was able to get two birds (one of them prehistoric even) with one stone at this show. Shock Cinema are new to the Brooklyn scene, the core having been enticed north from Atlanta, and then enveloped with local talent to immediately become one of the coolest new outfits in town. Fronted by the delectable Destiny Montague, and anchored by Rodgers Sister Miyuki Furtado. What gives them their ditinctive sound is the jagged soul-edge guitar work of Autry Rene Fulbright II, driven by with Danny Wood's strong bass playing. A record seems to be out in Germany, and they've been snapped up by Brooklyn indie Kanine Records. I've picked their opener 'Albatross' which doesn't, as far as I can tell, appear on either record (please excuse the howls of feedback while Todd P sets the sound and I get my camera out); and 'Art Of Noir' which just could be their most popular number. Then it was on to Pterodactyl. While not actually dinosaurs, they have been around the Brooklyn scene for a few years. Their intense approach is not unsimilar to other local mainstays like Oneida and Ex Models and, in fact, their LP has been released on Oneida's own Brah Records and Zach Ex Model has been filling in on bass for them while member Kurt has been away at school this last year. School done, he's back and this was a final warm-up/farewell before they set off across the country on a no-holds-barred tour. I've picked the harmonious, and according to the band - awkward - 'Esses' and the epic closer 'Polio'. |
