Koala Fires @ Murmur TONIGHT

Monday, September, 22 2008
Extra Life
Koala Fires
Pete Fosco
at Murmur
2450 Beekman Avenue
Cincinnati, Ohio 45214
$5, 8 PM


about Extra Life:

"Every so often there's a record so accomplished that it makes most albums of its type sound ridiculous, and Secular Works is one of those … Remarkable for its scope, depth and technical accomplishment, Secular Works is a devastating record that has the power to change minds, if only people hear it. Don't miss out." - Dusted Magazine

"In Extra Life, Looker taps into a mesmerizing form of avant-rock raga, repeating words, and shifting into a windswept, entrancing post-punk throat singing … The first song to catch our attenton is opener "Blackmail Blues," which hit us like a darker, heavier take on Dirty Projectors (backed by Torch Of The Mystics Sun City Girls) … these are master works. The album itself is called Secular Works, but this stuff feels somehow religious in its fervor." - Stereogum

" ... scarily focused and ruthlessly complex in a post-prog sort of way, but it also flirts with a dark, sumptuous art-pop vibe. The end product is relentless, enveloping and frequently gorgeous." - Time Out New York

"Tension and restraint. Adornment and shedding. These are the balances that define Extra Life's fantastic full-length debut, Secular Works … Looker's sense of arrangement and composition melds each sound into a gripping work where fear and urgency loom within each track … It creates an aesthetic so grave and completely realized that it's with the best sense of anxiety that I anticipate where Extra Life goes next." - Tiny Mixtapes

"Precision bone-crushing … I realize this may sound like hyperbole, but have you seen this band? Go, then decide if I'm exaggerating." - Impose Magazine

Pirates

Today is International Talk Like A Pirate Day and it got me thinking about a song that I wrote for And How. We never recorded a demo of it but it was always part of our live show.

So, today seemed like a good day to try and remedy that. It's not perfect, etc, etc.
