Tomorrow night feels like it’s posed to ignite a serious case of déjà vu. Back in the olden part of this year’s April, CSS was all set to perform at the Venue of Scottsdale, and then due to mysterious reasons (perhaps a little too much fun at Coachella?) the show was postponed until this Tuesday. But maybe it was a blessing in disguise? This week they bring with them the rambunctious group of JD Samson’s MEN. With a lovely synth pop consistency reminiscent of an ‘80s themed spandex night but complete with poignant lyrics for accompaniment, this is sure to be an entertaining performance. Spawning from the magnificence of Le Tigre’s brainchild, this group’s noble ideals about being yourself shine through their musical disposition. Gaining some more credibility with their most recent release “Talk About Body” in early part of this year, they are touring to promote their eclectic delivery and exposition of music. Not to mention that it will be taking place in the brand spanking new Crescent Ballroom downtown. New place with a new band to perform alongside? Yes, whatever CSS reasons might have been for cancelling, they have returned to the valley with a vengeance. In my overt excitement for both bands performance, I figure since I already raised my CSS flag in April; it was time for MEN to take their comeuppance.
MEN and CSS will be performing at the Crescent Ballroom tomorrow night. Tickets are $19 in advance, $20 at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m.
