BloodLust!

-Death in July: Last night,
Nookleptia, Spires in the
Sunset Rise, and Luftwaffe
played at the Empty Bottle.
Nookleptia had a few decent
"industrial" songs that kind
of sounded like Neu!, or a
much less distorted version
of Lightning Bolt, driven by
live drums, bass guitar, and
often noisy keyboards. They
did an "exotica" type of
number that I could have
done without. Having seen
Spires... before, I was prepared
for their witchy take on
Current 93, Diamanda Galas,
and handmade acoustic art folk.
Luftwaffe looked and sounded
like a splinter group from the
Death in June family of bands.
Their "Critic's Choice" write-up
in the "Reader" made me
anticipate something a bit
more original.
