The Handshake

The Handshake

Jan 26, 2013 | ktru, local show

The Handshake are a really rad power trio from town who played the show last summer – they’re one of those bands who you hear a second of as you’re walking past, become immediately hooked, and before you know it you’re late for the thing you had to be at, or that’s what happened to me at least. Last I heard they were in the studio for a full length, but to hold you over until then here are two excellent tracks they cut up at KTRU. Photo Credit: Dave Idmoto.

Khruangbin

Khruangbin

Jan 13, 2013 | ktru, local show

Khruangbin (the name is Thai for ‘airplane’, or more literally ‘engine fly’) plays an instrumental style heavily influenced by Thai Pop – making them an original Western interpretation of an original Eastern style heavily influenced by a collection of Western styles which were themselves derived from other even older Western styles (got all that?). With this in mind it maybe makes a lot of sense that they often perform in costume.

These recordings came out really well so we’re going to upload a few more than usual. Dig these:

Bang Bangz

Bang Bangz

Nov 28, 2012 | ktru, local show

Bang Bangz are no strangers to the studio – Mario’s been by in a group called Tax The Wolf – but this time they brought a brand new sound to the show. Electronic, ethereal, and danceable, I picked these two tracks from the session to best represent their style. Dig the vocals, and I think the drums are a little more prominent than you’ll get from them live.
