Three words: Innovative. Exciting. Fresh. If you grace us with your presence at the Sett this Saturday night, you will get to experience these three words in motion. Deleted Scenes, a band hailing from Washington, DC, will blow your mind with their fusion of pop and electronic sound, while throwing in rhythms from surf rock to R&B. Chicago’s A Lull takes experimental music to a whole new level while concurrently providing beautiful vocal melodies. Who WOULDN’T want to have this experience? Moral of the story: You will not be let down by these two phenomenal talents. 9:00 pm. The Sett. Union South. See you there.

With the release of LC!’s newest album in November, this long-awaited show is finally here! Pitchfork described Hello Sadness as “their fourth straight great album,” ultimately giving it a solid 8.0. Check it out for yourself below.

Although Parenthetical Girls haven’t released a full-length album in some time, they’re definitely not to be overlooked. If you haven’t heard of the Oregon-based group, their indie pop sound with an experimental edge is sure to win you over Saturday night.

Doomtree – “Bangarang” (Video)

What karaoke machine has P.O.S. spitting rhymes back at you, and where can I get one? Doomtree dropped the first video from No Kings last week, which features Har Mar Superstar lip synching to the track as the collective gets rowdy around him. As you may expect if you are familiar with HMS, his rendition involves less and less clothes as the video goes on. Bonus for our Minnesota transplants: The song features a First Avenue name-drop. It’s unknown whether Doomtree will be having a karaoke party in their dressing room when they visit the Sett on March 9th, but one thing is for sure: They’ll bring the energy when they hit the stage. Check out the video below.

You may want to take a cue from the picture above and toss some confetti in the air because on February 17th the folks in attendance at The Sett will be treated to a fantastic double-feature when YACHT and Asobi Seksu play back-to-back. YACHT visits after putting out one of the hottest albums of 2011, Shangri-La, which delivered electropop that made us dance and ponder at the same time. Asobi Seksu’s appearance comes almost exactly a year after the release of Fluorescence, their newest album in a long career of shoegaze excellence. Don’t miss a chance to see two bands at the forefront of their craft, making your ears happy for the low, low price of free.
