A band who if were Irish would probably have toyed with the name StiraMatic, Chairlift make their Irish debut in Crawdaddy this Saturday night.
Although some comment has been made of their ugly name, their music sings for itself. The Brooklyn three-piece’s first album is a wonderfully laidback affair with a couple of electro pop gems to be found therein.
I’m especially looking forward to hearing the bouncy Evident Utensil live, and not just because it has the best lyrics. You can bet their happy, clappy Bruises, which they merrily and smartly whored to iPod, will give the Saturday night crowd a happy ending.
I say “crowd”, it will be interesting to see how many turnout for this gig. Given our current winter economic climate these smaller gigs, on weekdays especially, have seen audiences dwindle in recent months. This subject has been covered in super interesting fashion on Jim Carroll’s blog.
It was the same at the recent Headlights / Throw Me The Statue gig. From my own selfish standpoint, I enjoy these hyper-intimate gigs. But I do worry great up and coming artists like these will stop visiting us. So, if you haven’t already done so you should check out Chairlift. I would have called them Hairlip. It’s ugly, but it’s sexy ugly!
