Wanna French?
Singing in French doesn't automatically mean insta-chick magnet, but it certainly can't hurt. The fellas of Montreal indie rock group Malajube (that's pronounced "MAL-a-zhoob," yo) are going to get the inevitable comparisons to fellow Canucks the Arcade Fire, but Malajube wander into more proggy, nearly jam-band waters. Their latest album, Trompe-l'oeil is fantastically lush, featuring aggressive drums, spaced out guitar licks and enough stylistic know-how to choke the cast of "You Can't Do That on Television."
See the Fantastic French Foursome when they play this Friday, Feb. 23 at the Beat Kitchen (2100 W. Belmont).
