Vancouver's Nu Sensae
recently received some hype in the form of Out Magazine's inclusion of
drummer Daniel Pitout in their 100 most eligible bachelors list.
While any publicity can be a boon for a great band, sexually objectifying
one of the members has a tendency to diminish the fact that they
really are a fantastic noise rock trio. Luckily, their music is
turning at least as many heads as the hot guy behind the kit these
days. After a listen through last year's Sundowning
LP (Suicide Squeeze), you may find yourself equally as aroused by the
intensity of Andrea Lukic's screeching death howls as they
dynamically punctuate the restrained chaos held together by her
driving bass rumbles, or the angular spasms of Brody
McKnight's guitar as he prods at the sonorous mess like a little boy with a
stick.
Supporting
them this Sunday at Chop Suey will be Olympia's Broken
Water, whose
darkly lush psych-influenced sound harkens back to something almost
forgotten, but gladly reinstated. In fact, both bands could be
described as an updated version of what the best underground PNW
bands were working to achieve twenty years ago, while their more
conventional counterparts were getting sucked into the maelstrom of
industry shenanigans.
Local boys Haunted Horses are starting off the night, and
honestly, bills don't come more perfectly fit. Fans of any of these
bands will undoubtedly love the others, and all are worthy of
whatever random hugs and kisses lavished upon them afterwards. Oh,
and hey, look at this! We're giving away tickets!
