My home away from home, The Asbury Lanes, is having a way rad show Thursday night. Seems some musicians from across the Atlantic, Spain that is, are bringing their frantic, sexy, electro-rock, dance-frenzy-of-a-steadied-tight-rope-walk brand of madness to a venue near you. If you want to be messed with, you should probably come and have your mind blown by these guys. I mean if you’re gonna hang out on a Thursday, let’s make it interesting. Let’s roll the dice a little. And let’s just go for broke; let’s get international while we’re at it.
“Lüger is setting the Spanish scene on fire. With less than 2 years under their belt and one record that came out last April they’ve had enough time to play all over Spain and be one of the highlights at Primavera Club 2010. They’ve also played in festivals such as Space is the Place (with OM and Acid Mothers Temple) or Monkey Week (Faust, Sonic Boom, Cave, Quintron, etc…)
Ruta 66, the most influential rock magazine in Spain just crowned them best album of 2010 on their January edition and their new album should be out before winter is over. Their eponimous LP is sold out and have just been invited to play SXSW 2011.
Backed by a pounding double-headed rhythm section, the mix includes organ, synth, guitar and throbbing bass lines Lemmy would kill for. Lüger’s sound is heavily influenced by classic acts such as Hawkwind, Faust or Neu! so the music is provided with surpassing krautrock elements, however they sound less vintage, rather modern, comparable with the likes of Turzi, Holy Fuck or Wooden Shjips in a wider sense, drawing rave reviews in web forums all over the world.”
The evening will also feature Gondola, “psychedelic rock from Philly… hometown friends of Lüger,” and 117, “post-rock, pre-avant,” who hail from the Highlands in NJ.

Don’t be like, ‘oh I’m not going’ and then when I’m leaving change your mind. Just admit it. You want to go. You can’t help but have your interest piqued. It’s music, after all. It’s what we have in common without even trying.
XOXO
