Assassins are great! You are correct, they were a little bit of a throw back, but definitely a modern take on good music from the 80's. Marvelkind was more guilty of being ahead of their time and weird. I was at this show. And it was awesome. Marvelkind was crazy and fun and totally had tons of punk rock energy, and Assassins were really powerful, and slick, I love the dual singers. I love both these bands. Too bad the guitar player left the country for Europe or something.

The Assassins ahead of their time?? SERIOUSLY? I thought they sounded like every other over processed electro band of their own time and previous times before that. Does anyone remeber the 80s and 90s anymore??

Due to the holiday weekend, the beer cart made the rounds through the Chicagoist offices early today, and our copy editor is passed out underneath our plastic plasma screen TV.

Man, I think I still have my homemade Assassins demo cd from back when I met/used to see Joe all the time at the Starbucks in Logan Square. Sad news.
