In this latest edition of Bushwick Music Crush, we’re offering a glimpse into the future. That’s right, Brooklyn; no need to adjust your computer screens. Last weekend at Glasslands, we blasted up, up and away into the far reaches of the galaxy, and all the while, never even lost grip of our beer. Our trusty vessel? The stellar tunes of Brooklyn’s own Future Punx. When these post-wave space heads first caught our attention as opening act for Parquet Courts and Yuppies at Music Hall of Williamsburg, we knew it was lust at first listen. Scroll through for photos from Future Punx’s most recent set, plus more on this local band’s cool, totally crush-worthy sounds.
Dressed to the nines with sophisticated sounds to match, Future Punx opened with the jolt of “999,” an electrifying dance number that first set toes tapping. Thanks to their clever blend of slick guitar jangle and groovy rhythms, it’s easy to get lost while riding the band’s futuristic vibes (of course, the fog machine definitely helps). All at once sprightly and sleek, theirs is an appealing mix of retro and modern that fans of bands like Talking Heads and Devo– so basically, everyone– will undoubtedly dig. Plus, hello! Getta load of that keytar!
