5 REASONS TO GO SEE
FLEET FOXES 1 They’re fleet You should see the five band members in their tracksuits, doing the hundred yard dash. Actually, the distinctly un- athletic looking band from the Seattle suburbs look as if they couldn’t walk up a hill slowly without reaching for the inhaler, so scratch that.
2 They’re foxes Not the four- legged, chicken-bothering kind, but the FF guys, while not exactly a band of Brad Pitts, are considered in some alt.folk indie circles as cute, scratchy beards, lank hair, lumberjack shirts and all. 3 They’re brilliant OK, let’s get serious, the band’s eponymous debut album was one of the finest of last year, at once reminiscent of 40 years of American folk and blues and instantly new-sounding. It topped many end of year polls, and prompted the Guardian to call it ‘a landmark in American music, an instant classic.’
4 They’re harmonious Recent live shows demonstrated the band’s wonderful way with melody and particularly harmonies, their five-part singing reminiscent of vintage Beach Boys. 5 They’re independent Like Franz Ferdinand and Arctic Monkeys before them, Fleet Foxes have proven you can have breakthrough commercial success on an indie record label, in their case the marvellous Bella Union here in Britain and the awesome Sub Pop in America. Platinum records and Brit Award nominations – take that, The Man! (Doug Johnstone) ■ O2 Academy, Glasgow, Tue 8 Sep.
Murderburgers, Wonk Unit, The Terrors and Company L Stereo, 20–28 Renfield Lane, 222 2254. 6.30pm. £8. Ska and punk from Toronto headliners, plus pop punk and horror punk from around the UK on the support bill. ■ Jeffrey Lewis & The Junkyard Oran Mor, 731–735 Great Western Road, 357 6200. 6.30pm. £9. New York’s lo-fi anti-folk hero and satirical cartoonist with current backing band. ■ Amazing Baby, Schnapps and Arthouse Captain’s Rest, 185 Great Western Road, 332 7304. 8pm. £tbc. Brooklyn duo who are alumni of the same liberal arts college, Wesleyan University, as MGMT. ■ Annie Stevenson and Rio Callaghan Pivo Pivo, 15 Waterloo Street, 564 8100. 8pm. £3 (free for students). Alt.rock quartet from Glasgow headline. With Stevie Wonder/Otis Redding-influenced support.
