Streight Angular @ The Middle East Downstairs 7.29.2011

Well, this certainly got my attention.

After falling hard for their song “Everyone Is Syncopated” earlier in the week, I was prepared for good things from Streight Angular at the big Boston Band Crush summer blowout. What I was not ready for was the party bomb the band set off in the Middle East. Crazy good.

Do you miss The Pixies? I’m not talking about the content and amicable version of The Pixies that tours now, but the hungry and desperate version of the band that created so many beautifully noisy songs? You do? Then maybe you should check out the song “Everyone Is Syncopated” by Streight Angular. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh is it crazy good. How can you go wrong with fuzzy guitars, a memorable beat, a melodic bassline, a dash of synthesizer and a fantastic vocal hook? You can’t. Plus, they mention exfoliated chickens. That has to account for something.
