LAST MINUTE PLANS: Speedy Ortiz At Subterranean
By Jon Graef in Arts & Entertainment on Apr 24, 2013 6:00PM
Having just signed to Carpark Records, former home of Beach House, rambunctious garage rockers Speedy Ortiz will no doubt celebrate their good news—and preview material from their upcoming debut full-length, Major Arcana, at tonight's show at Subterranean. Don't miss them.
Before the band releases Arcana in July, the Western Massachusetts-based group will release a 7-inch single on April 30 on Inflated Records.
The single's A-side, a fuzzy, drone-y blast of concise alt-pop called "Ka-Prow!" premiered on Spin recently. Singer Sadie Dupuis' brand of sing-speak reminds listeners of a more tuneful, intuitive Liz Phair. Check out the video for "Ka-Prow!" below, and listen to the group's past material on Bandcamp.
Speedy Ortiz opens for Geronimo! at Subterranean, 2011 W North Ave, 8 p.m., $8, 21+
