“Gauntlet Hair plays Glasslands” sounds like the title of some mildly perverted Lord of the Rings fan fiction. Luckily it’s not (YET) because Gauntlet Hair is one those “you have to seem them live to get it” bands. Obstructed by reverb on their self-titled debut is how fast and loud these former hardcore kids intend on playing. If anything the show will look and sound like this (plus a few guys that resemble a lankier Gimil in the audience):
Doors open at 8:30 at the mythical Glasslands, get there early to see indie poppers Parenthetical Girls and Brooklyn’s own Dinowalrus and Eraas. Already have plans? Fret not, they are also playing Mercury Lounge tomorrow night with Beach Fossils side project, Dive, and The Big Sleep.
I hadn’t really listened to them but I went to Glasslands anyway. They were really, really good. Great sound.
