Hot off their weekend one-country, two-state tour, on which they killed (in the figurative sense) in Hoboken and very nearly killed (in the literal sense) in Brooklyn, the Fallen Leaves perform a blistering live set on my show tonight at 11pm (US Eastern time) on WFMU (91.1 in NYC/NJ, 90.1 in the Catskills and Hudson Valley, wfmu.org from all other points). Here's the write-up I wrote up for WFMU's web site:
School may be back in session, but you can put away your compass and protractor; your ears are all you need to map the connection from The Kinks and Downliners Sect via The Prisoners and Thee Headcoats to today's hottest British beat-punk sensations, The Fallen Leaves! Featuring original Subway Sect guitarist Rob Symmons, among other luminaries, the Fallen Leaves cap off their whirlwind first-ever visit to the USA with a live set on WFMU! Their new album It's Too Late Now (Parliament) picked up a four-star review from London's Sunday Times -- tune in and hear why!
Listen, or be sorry you didn't. If you can't tune in tonight, check the archive at http://wfmu.org/playlists/ED tomorrow morning.
