THE FAINT & DJ SUPERMARKT tonight in Maria/Berlin
If you are in Berlin, this is the place to go. The Faint already had two albums out in the US, when the eighties Electro-Rock/Clash revival started in europe some years ago. They were influenced by Gang Of Four way before other people heard of a movement called Post Punk.
This is the real thing, not one of those shallow bands/producers that think Electro is the new Hip Hop... until they find out it's something else they don't understand and move on.. to Metal probably, because it is easier to get rich with it. The Faint are still relevant today, with a new 12 Inch on Boys Noize's label and an album coming up. There would be no Klaxons, Shitdisco a.m.m. without them.
