The Fake Accents @ Pianos: Young Team

Thursday night right after The Walkmen, I stumbled over to Pianos to catch DC's finest, The Fake Accents. They had the utter misfortune of playing after a terrible (I'm sorry, they were) local girl band whose name I shall not mention. This however, didn't postone, nor stop the rock n roll.


I've not seen the band in close to 2 years and was thrilled to find that their sound has totally expanded and their live show has become truly a moving experience. It's almost as if Mogwai, Yo La Tengo and Pavement all decided to form a supergroup. This gives you a clue of what The Fake Accents bring to the scene.


Those lucky enough to catch them on their first-ever East Coast tour should also take heed to the limited edition T-shirts, as they are fucking awesome, and one-of-a-kind.

Their debut LP, The Big Disconnect, is available now at their shows and on their site! Add it to your Christmas lists!
