In and Out :: Preview [4.2.08] I Love You Airlines @ Bowery Poetry Club

Tonight, for the first time in a hot minute, I Love You Airlines will be storming the coast of Manhattan and shaking The Bowery Poetry Club like they're one of those Peruvian earthquakes that levels cities and make people give money to the American Red Cross. Of course, any venue shaking will be purely metaphorical because its actual destruction would be at best inconvenient and at worst, possibly disastrous. The kind of shaking that will take place will be human and it will most certainly be happening in front of the stage. Over time, vibrations will spread from front to back like a comb through the greasy-hair and vacant-eyed hipsters who will decorate the audience like a far better-educated pointillist painting. And by the end, as I Love You Airlines finds their finishing kick and their drummer (also a sushi chef) is wailing on his kit like a piece of raw and poorly behaved tuna, you'll find yourself moving too. You'll find yourself wondering how this show is possibly free and how you haven't seen this band yet. You might even wonder if the floor is going to survive the 15.5 Richter onslaught. This isn't dance-rock and it ain't indie-rock, and it ain't even glam-rock; this is straight rock music and it's going to kick your ass. Check it in or check it out.
