Sweeping Promises at The Casbah
Lira Mondal records vocals in a stairwell because the reverb is better than any studio effect money can buy. Caufield Schnug writes guitar parts that sound like they were beamed in from a 1980 Manchester basement and reassembled in a Boston apartment. Together they are Sweeping Promises, and Sub Pop signed them because someone at the label heard a four-track recording and couldn't stop pressing play.
The You Say I Romanticize Tour brings them to the Casbah on the first leg of a mammoth North American run. Blair Gun and Intermission open. The room will be small enough to hear the stairwell.
This is post-punk that trusts the song over the production — two people who figured out that limitation is a sound, not a problem. The kind of band you tell one friend about, and that friend tells one friend, and six months later the 300-cap rooms are selling out before the poster goes up.
Tuesday, September 16. Doors 7:30, show 8:30. Kettner Blvd. 21+. Eighteen dollars.
