WIERD Presents a Very Rare performance by PLEASURE LEFTISTS!

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

This week WIERD welcomes the NYC debut of Pleasure Leftists from Cleveland, OH for a live performance at midnite! The band's debut EP came out this past April on the always great Fan Death Records label in DC run by No Love Lost monthly party ringleader Sean Gray, who will be on hand with NLL in-house DJ exVRordinaire Denman for tonite's show. The lovely Haley Morris is indeed one of the wildest frontwomen out there with an alluringly androgynous kill-yr-boss-and-hit-the-road-with-a-rusty-shotgun vocal delivery and who-knows-what-the-fuck-she's-gonna-do-tonite style stage presence, and holds down the local Cleveland scene with a Very Rare stranglehold, including her excellent efforts in staging WCSB's recent "Ceremony of the 35th Summer" Xeno & Oaklander concert at Cleveland State University back in June! For all you hardcore fans of classic French Cold Wave and new snarly post-punk and dusty gutter crust alike, you're in for a Very Rare treat this evening!

And thank you to everyone who came out to the Psychic TV show last week, and extra special thanks to the great Ryan Martin from DAIS, Kevin Hufnagel, and our hero Mr. Martial Canterel for making this possible and an evening to remember. We recorded both the video and audio from the show and will have more on this soon...for now a few images from the night are up in the live performance archive. Needless to say hearing the likes of "Just Drifting", "The Orchids", and "Just Like Arcadia" live finally after all these years was something I'll never forget...VR.
