Teen Runnings

Fri Jan 20, 2012 Shinjuku Marz
The New House

Time Out says

The flyer still lists them by their old name, but lo-fi indie pop trio Friends will hitherto be known as Teen Runnings, so as to avoid confusion with an identically monikered Brooklyn band and – hopefully - maximise their chances of global success in the process. Given the amount of blogger love lavished on the group's music so far, including recently released debut album Let's Get Together Again, this appellation alteration may not be quite as presumptuous as it first seems. Find out what all the fuss is about when the group helm this all-nighter at Marz, joined by Animal Collective-esque label mates The New House (who've got a new album of their own due out next month). The gig also marks the first-ever live outing for chillwave/hypnagogic pop/whatever producer Taquwali, with eclectic bedsit pop quartet Moscow Club and no-fi synthpop savant Super VHS rounding out the bill. Like Pitchfork and Gorilla vs. Bear? You'll probably like this.
