The three day weekend is upon us and that means your Sunday just opened up for partying. With all of Monday to sleep in you have no excuse not to party all night with the Handsome Furs this Sunday January 17th at the Belly Up Tavern. If you’ve never witnessed the ferocious power of Dan Boeckner and Alexei Perry live, now is the time. Boeckner, the guitarist and vocalist for the seminal (now sadly defunct) band Wolf Parade, plays guitar while his wife, Alexei, plays keys and both sing and/or howl. Together, the duo’s frenetic energy, lust and raw nerves make for an exhilarating live show that combines the immediacy of an unhinged yet earnest doomsday prophet with the rabid energy of a trapped wolverine.

Speaking of vicious woodland creatures, I would be remiss in not mentioning the two openers and local standouts D/Wolves and Snakesuit. Snakesuit will start off the night drenching you in buckets of moody synths and D/Wolves will keep the party raging with their special brand of haunted, dreamy pop. Doors open at 8pm, show starts at 9pm so don’t be late!

Sunday Jan 15th 9:00 pm
