BROKEN BELLS
The Morning Benders
Friday, June 4, 2010
ROYALE NIGHTCLUB
Tickets $35
Doors 5:30pm
Broken Bells are not even one year old. Mix one part early Shins and one part Danger Mouse and get this effortlessly retro super-group. Organ mixed with guitar, bass, superb vocals and a slew of other instruments give these tracks a sound as full as the harbor. James Mercer (Formerly of The Shins) and Brian Burton (aka Danger Mouse) play Boston's newest and hipest venue, The Royale (Formerly The Roxy) on Friday June 4th. The night is turning into a night of former stars turned vital newcomers all around. Thanks to Boston's ridiculously early curfew, doors will open at 5:30pm giving concert-goers the perfect excuse for the liquid dinner after escaping the office on a warm Friday afternoon. This music makes whiskey on the rocks seem like a good choice; it's just that cool.
After admiring each others work for years Mercer and Danger have finally started collaborating. They released their debut, although professionally polished, album just last month with binary coded emails even the nerds in engineering could appreciate, offering free downloads preceding the release. Respective fans of both groups, and new fans alike, have already cemented sure-fire success for these two. They're combining everything that is great about The Shins and Danger Mouse. Already slated for a very cool U.S. tour, Broken Bells are the it group of the moment, stopping at all of the best rooms around the country. Catch them now.
If you're lucky enough to be off work before 5:30pm, get down to the new Royale and check out the brilliant sight lines and set up. After Broken Bells goes on, hear the best new sound system in Boston. You'll most likely be back to see all of the bands that matter come through Boston.
