Country Teasers, Young People, Magik Markers, Lambsbread, S-S-S-Spectres - Syrup Room

Once again New York Night Train recommends Country Teasers. See last night’s preview to learn why. Tonight they’ll be on an amazing Todd P bill at Bushwick’s Syrup Room. Young People are a LA duo on Too Pure who play spacious elegant songs that range from quiet to quaking. The Magik Markers are one of the more exciting bands of the last couple of years - a wild ear-splitting no-wavy trio who, in addition to all kinds of high profile touring with the likes of Sonic Youth and Dinosaur, have left a cryptic slime trail of CDRs, cassettes, and vinyl across the indie landscape. I’m not so familiar with Lambs Bread who apparently play noisy free rock. But I do know the S-S-S-Spectres are one of the town’s more under-rated bands – featuring two former fixtures of the Austin underground, SSSS conjure up unique angular weirdness that you would merely call post-punk if they didn’t have so much character and originality.
