Remember electroclash? Those heady, pulsating months somewhere between ‘99 and 2002…those were the days. Oh wait, it kinda sucked! Well anyways, the spirit lives on in Providence at AS220 tonight: Our own electroclash O.G.’s Mahi Mahi bring it per usual, along with newbies LLove, who, despite be mired somewhere back in the early 00’s have a nice loose-limbed take on skronky, squelchy tech-house and 80’s electropop with a pretty decent sense of humor. (And who am I to judge, my band sounds like 1982.) They’ll both be up against Brooklyn’s technopunk multi-piece Team Robespierre in a 3-way irony deathmatch. Who will win? American Apparel.
AS220, Mahi Mahi, LLove, Team Robespierre 9pm, $6

I’ll slow it down for you: they sound like lots of bands and records that I’ve seen and heard and owned from 5 or 6 years ago, but their songs are interesting enough, I mostly like them, the lyrics are funny in places, and they have some loose, non-electronic qualities, kind of like a rock band, but they are mostly electronic. Is that okay? Or should I maybe draw something?

I will take a guess and say yes you do have a sense of you. So since you offered yes, please draw something.

I can’t draw for shit. If I see you at the show I’ll buy you a drink, how’s that?
