Oh, for the Love of...
Australia seems to grow them a little bit, well, differently Down Under. The Melbourne trio Love of Diagrams have been plodding along since 2001, cutting their teeth on a tasty full-length CD, The Target Is You, and a smattering of EPs, including the most recent, self-titled release.
And what, pray tell, do Love of Diagrams sound like? Try this on for size, Junior: add equal parts English post-punk and NYC New Wave; add edgy guitars, thick bass lines, back-and-forth girl/boy vocals, and a healthy dose of Riot Grrrl attitude, a la Slant 6. Now set the oven to 350 degrees, and get your sweet self to one of two Chicago shows to hear it for yourself, as they play Schubas on Friday, March 2; and the Hideout on Saturday, March 3.
