Are you following the DNC this week? Do you think Denver is a little too far away for you to get political? Kick off your holiday weekend this Friday at Tritone and watch The Shondes tackle some of the issues everyone’s talking about!
The Brooklyn quartet has been receiving a lot of hype since their record “The Red Sea” was released earlier this year. Check out what the media is saying about The Shondes:
“…a band bent on putting politics back in punk. Just a year out from their union in college, the foursome caught the crest of a foamy blogger-hype wave without so much as a single pressed.“ – SPIN
“Are The Shondes the next Sleater-Kinney?” – VH1 Best Week Ever Blog
“Seamlessly fusing art and politics.” – Punk Planet
“…an album rich in saw-tooth guitars, pummeling rhythms and an undeniably anthemic spirit. It’s haunting and it’s eerie, yet it’s rousing. The Shondes are a twisted carnival film noir come true.” – CMJ
Look out for a follow-up post filled with photos and video from the show. Hope to see you there!
The Shondes-Tritone (1508 South Street)-Aug. 29-10 pm-$7-21+
