English Post-Punk Outfit Art Brut Doesn’t Seem Like It’s Planned! (In-Studio)

Soundcheck | Apr 16

The band Art Brut has been making excitable, eccentric indie rock since their debut LP Bang Bang Rock N Roll was released in the UK back in 2005. The music is catchy, hook-laden, guitar-based indie rock. The lyrics are delivered in a kind of speech-song by Eddie Argos; they could be about falling in love or hitting the dance floor, but they’re just as likely to tell us a story of a double-crossing superhero or the joys of riding public transportation. Art Brut delivers a gleefully feral set of songs from their vast catalogue (including the recent second volume of a boxed set, Sorry, That It Doesn’t Seem Like It’s Planned! Battling Satan 2009-2020) to play in-studio.

Set list: 1. Formed a Band 2. Emily Kane 3. She Kissed Me and It Felt Like A Hit
