It List: Sunday 7/9/06

VCR/ Ballroom Dancing/ Oh No Circuitry! (The Eighth Continent- 731 Texas St. Denton): VCR is a band that will be perfect for the 8th continent: loud, catchy, energetic danceable punk slop that sounds like it was made for a video game... in a good way. Its a new wave take on no wave. Ballroom Dancing, who recently played at the metrognome Popfest, is probably the poppiest band to play 8th Continent. And although we heard some mixed reviews of their live show (as in some good and some bad with few in betweens), we think this will be a great venue to see them in if you like the songs you hear on their Myspace. Circuitry seems to be a punk influenced take on proggy postrock/shoegaze and sounds like they could pack a punch live, which gives you a good reason to get there early, even if the 8th might force you to take a few heat wave breaks during the show. Should be good times, and I think its five bucks.
