Ho-hum, it’s been a slow week around here. I keep falling asleep all over myself. I was about to engage permanent hibernation until I realized — holy crap! — dd/mm/yyyy is playing in Iowa City on Saturday night! Bringing together elements of noise, math-rock, and sweet irresistible pop, dd/mm/yyyy (day - month - year) is an outfit from Toronto. They’ve been tearing it up on summer tour, playing side by side such wonderful weirdos as Videohippos and Crystal Castles. They come through the Picador this Saturday on the tail-end of their travels. Their sound is all energy and their songs are all craft, well-conceived ear-bending nuggets. They recall that killer Iowa City duo Foul Tip although their sound is much fuller with their five-man lineup. And it’s totally appropriate that they’re sharing the bill with Iowa City rock stars, Birth Rites.
Chew on these fine hits…
