Growing all the way and back

A while ago I got to see my most favourite band in the world (Fuck Buttons, duh) and opening for them was Growing, a band I was not so familiar with though I have heard a few tracks here and there.

Anyways, I got ahold of 'All The Way', a six track bundle of froggy blurps, bubbles, and invisible beats. I swear I've never been so motivated to dance by something without an actual beat (no drums, yo) and I just cannot contain myself.

It's glitchy and repetitive and everything I could ever ask for in noisey/drone/electric album. I'm surprised to find that the bulk of their other work is alot more moody and lengthy and drone, which is fantastic don't get me wrong, it's total aces, but please, Growing, more of this!

They ended with their opener

As anticipated, Fuck Buttons were downright transendiary last night. I was pumped to see the little cassette player (with a reminiscent sticker attached) knowing that they'd be pumping out a few Street Horrrsing tracks. Even the two openers Growing and These Are Powers were really pretty great. It was hard NOT to move, to NOT occasionally close your eyes and just swing around. I even got a little head-banging in when the apocalyptic buzz of 'Bright Tomorrow' kicked in. 

FB and Growing are playing again on the 27th at Market Hotel. I'm hoping to be there but if I can't then I'm beyond glad I made it last night, even when some forces (fuck you Ronkonkoma) were against me and my lovely evening companion.

If I recall correctly the set-list went something like:

Surf Solar

Colours Move

Rough Steez

Bright Tomorrow

Olympians

Phantom Limb

Space Mountain

Flight of the Feathered Serpent

And then an encore of Sweet Love For Planet Earth

Granted I could very well be making most of this up as I have a pretty awful memory, I am 90% sure that is the exact set-list, but I would get a second opinion.

Look! There I am! Right of heart-clenching girl.
