The Hourly Radio @ Luna Lounge: See The Lights That Have Guided Me
Their set included all of our favourites from the album, ending with 'Crime does pay' and 'Deaf ears.' The crowd was also treated to a new song, which certainly fit within their vein of dark, post-rock, dance, drum-driven songs but had a slightly poppier feel to it.
There is a reason we keep coming back to this band, folks. Go see them while you can. Full tour dates here.
Last month, after many spiralling rumors, Luna Lounge found its new home on Metropolitan Ave in Williamsburg. While the capacity of the former Luna was in the neighborhood of 200 people, the new Luna is enormous in comparison, with a standing room that holds nearly 600 concert goers. What better way to check out the new space, then by witnessing another stellar show from one of our favorite acts, The Hourly Radio.
Opening with History Will Never Hold Me's instrumental 'Travelsigns', I knew the set was going to be brilliant, and it was. Highlighting nearly all of their debut (and one new track), The Hourly Radio lit Brooklyn on fire.
Even though Jen, Skye and myself have all seen The Hourly Radio multiple times, their sets never grow old. Their live shows are instantly memorable, intense and fearless. Taking the best parts from '80s moody/dark alternative (think Cure/Psych Furs/Joy Division) and melding it with modern layering and passionate vocals (a la Interpol), the combination is undeniably sensational.
The band will be touring all over the country for the next month or so (check out the tour dates and ALL of The Hourly Radio coverage since the beginning right here!) and I can't urge you enough to shell out the cover charge and SEE The Hourly Radio! They're simply remarkable.
The final band of the night was The GoStation. That's all.
