Parquet Courts

$30 // 21+PARQUET COURTSAITIS BAND----------Though made up of Texan transplants, PARQUET COURTS are a New York band. Throw out the countless shallow Brooklyn bands of the blasé 2000's: PARQUET COURTS aims to draw from the rich culture of the city - the bands like Sonic Youth, Bob Dylan, and the Velvet Underground that are not from New York, but of it. A panoramic landscape of dilapidated corner-stores and crowded apartments is superimposed over bare-bones Americana, leaving little room for romance or sentiment. It's punk, it's American, it's New York...it's the color of something you were looking for. Often described as bizarre and unlistenable, AITIS BAND effortlessly knocks out brilliant and intuitive pop jams best experienced with sound proofing headphones and a tight blindfold. (Like Samhain, but quiet.)
