Have fun; flirt poorly
Here is a perfect excuse for you to check out Bad Flirt. A Montreal six-piece, they’ve been churning out their own particular brand of sexy pop for a couple of years now, and if there is such a thing as an indie-rock aesthetic, these cats have it in spades: low-fi recordings backed by walls of reverb, nuanced keyboards and the romantic melodies of a gifted lead singer (founding member Jasamine White Glutz). For their forthcoming record, Bad Flirt has teamed up with producer/mixer Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade, etc.). First single “Heart of Darkness” is a party waiting to happen, a danceable explosion that is all silky vocals and funky grooves: sweaty, subversive and oh-so-much fun. Only under the radar indie bands like this one will make it their mission for you to have a kickin’ good time. And you will, but only if you join Bad Flirt this Thursday at the Beat Kitchen, in support of A Common Enemy and playing with Coupleskate and Sam Vicari. Shows starts at 9pm.
