Handsome Furs - Snakes on a Ladder

The Canadian rock duo, Handsome Furs, put on an entertaining show at the Bowery Ballroom last night. I was skeptical before the performance, because their sound is synth heavy and machine driven. Luckily, the hubby and wife team had such amazing chemistry on stage. She works the drum machine and synthesizer with style. He sings lead vocals and handles guitar. This track, Snakes on a Ladder (wasn't taken from last night), is my fave. I have a penchant for music that you can slit your wrists to... Opening act, Violens, was a treat. I could tell that they loved music and their influences were evident in the songwriting. At the end of the night, the first few rows of the audience were sprayed with Red Bull and vodka. Canucks DO have edge!!
