Battles

With my time in Buenos Aires rapidly coming to a close, lots of people have been asking if I am sad to be leaving. Normally I have some kind of noncommittal response and talk about how nice it will be to see my friends back home and do things like eat burritos again.

As of today, I am officially changing my answer to "I can't fucking believe that I am going home." Why? Because Battles are coming to play in Buenos Aires on November 23, eight days after I leave.



For those not familiar with the band, Battles is a quartet from New York City that sounds something like experimental heavy metal alien music. That may sound odd, but Battles are a weird group. Let's just say their music is post-rock that rocks. Now I realize the words "experimental" and "post-rock" may send some music fans running for the hills, but Battles are anything but one of those woozy, noodly outfits that substitute experimentation and improvisation for actual talent. These boys bring some serious heat (not to mention actual songs) to their live shows.

Check out the video for "Atlas", from their album Mirrored.



Warp Records also put together this video as a sort of "get to know Battles" piece.



Battles will be performing on Friday, November 23 at Niceto Club as part of the Compass/Phonorama club night.

I will not be there, and that makes me sad.
