Today's idea - See Resident's gig of the week: HTRK at The Freebutt



Today recommended by Resident we like the sound of art project HTRK at The Freebutt. As the title suggests its their gig of the week. In the past they've supported The Horrors and more interestingly the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (who I saw last month, they were of course brilliant, so this touring with disgustingly-good-band business is most definitely a good sign) - and before you make a faux pas, pronounce it "Hate Rock."

Heralding (a word all gig reviews must include) from Berlin / Melbourne / London, the trio make it to Brighton tonight.

"HTRK make dark music full of menacing, grinding basslines, caustic guitar feedback & lucid melodies. Recalling Suicide & drawing on krautrock influences, theirs is a bewitching noir-ish universe. 2009’s ‘Marry Me was a truly mesmerising record, so we’re looking forward to this one."

You can find them on Last Fm and MySpace, and some nice photos here. Head to the Freebutt for 8pjavascript:void(0)m, and we suspect it will cost you £7 pounds-ish, as pretty much all the Freebutt gigs do.
