'I love you' |
Around 3 years ago I shot a peculiar NYC band called I Love You. Earlier this year I reviewed the footage and, on googling, discovered there was another band of the same name from Kansas City. They had an interesting sound so, when they visited NYC in November I checked them out. Missing them at Cake Shop, I had to go out to Goodbye Blue Monday in Bushwick, a quirky venue full of bric-a-brac. Formerly a trio, ILY are now a drum-guitar duo. Seeing them live it was clear what had intrigued me in the first place, and that is the atmospheric combination of quasi-steppers rhythms with noise-rock cut and slash. I've picked two good examples 'March of the Dead' and 'Myth of Gold". I spoke to the guitarist afterwards, asking if he was familiar with UK steppa mainstays such as Shaka and Iration. To my surprise the reply was.. not at all. |
Clicking on the images will take you to the clips on YouTube. The h.264's are iPod ready. There is a DVD. The band has a 12" and a couple of EPs all available via their MySpace. I intend to also post up the NYC I Love You in the near future. |
