The Death Set w/ the Mae Shi and Ponytail

  • Thedeathset_large
In the grand tradition of misleading band names (the Pop Group, the Clean), the Death Set's handle suggests Satanic verses and Cookie Monster vocals. But this Baltimore duo actually makes good-time electro-punk. Fans of the Go! Team and Dan Deacon should love the group's Ninja Tune debut, Worldwide, an overstimulated collection of gang-shouted anthems, spazzy guitars, and loopy Bis-inspired synths. Onstage, the Death Set display the kind of energy usually associated with post-hardcore kids; but, as the pent-up signature cut "Negative Thinking" demonstrates, a caffeine-and-sugar diet usually works best with a healthy slice of twee. They play tonight with similarly erratic (and accessible) electro-punkers the Mae Shi.
