Preview: O'Death at Death by Audio [Brooklyn, NY, 10.15.07]

I have been hearing for months about O'Death and their live show. I have been missing for months all of their live shows in Brooklyn. Well that's going to change this Monday, October 15th.

They are playing O'Death By Audio, a drop ceiling tiled office space with a stage at one end at 49 South 2nd Street between Wythe & Kent. It won't matter that the sound can sometimes suck there because O'Death comes complete with their own acoustic power. This is a mystical band from a forgotten time where people would get together on the back porch with some bathtub gin and play for themselves and friends until the sun came up. Eventually they loved music so much that they came up with a name for themselves and quit working for the man at the county store.

They love this bluegrass/hillbilly/barn stomping hootenanny mishmash as much as you will, and really that's what makes brooklyn and indie rock great in general. Play under the hipster flag if you want to. It's like the nerd table in the lunchroom...we're the only place that isn't going to kick you out.

They are just about to kick off a european tour in Ireland, and won't be back in town until christmas, so if you are going to see them, this is it. It starts at 8PM and is 7$. So cheap.
