WIVES

Venue: Klub

Doors >20:00

EN The NY four-piece WIVES is the latest fit into a long lineage of New York’s gritty, melodic-meets-punk. Their debut album So Removed is incisive, hook-driven, grungy dark-wave, tethered to daily anxiety without resorting to cynicism. The track Waving Past Nirvana traces the through-line between Kool Keith and Lou Reed, while The 20 Teens captures the definitive sound of contemporary rock.

There’s a gap between what we want and what we get. WIVES doesn’t know how to reconcile this, and they don’t try to give you the answer. Instead, So Removed plunges into that void of unknown.

Opening for WIVES we’re happy to have La Bofia back after their very first live performance at the Congés Annulés. The band brings back our parents’ 60’s classics in the shape of pop (the French way), only from the depths of your musical nightmares.
