A big fan of the Brooklyn lo-fi scene, Nice Face opened for Crystal Stilts at Don Pedro on Thursday night, May 14th. The band is relatively new to playing live, but I would argue they're on par with the trendy lo-fi bands, i.e. Crystal Stilts, Wavves, Vivian Girls, etc. I had already seen Crystal Stilts and wanted to check out Nice Face, whose MySpace I'd been listening to over the past year.
Their songs are a perfect mix of warped vocals, grit, noise, and dark, catchy hooks. "FUBAR Over You" and "Hidden Automatic" were definite crowd pleasers. The band always has really great original cover art, which makes buying a hard copy worth the trouble. You can find their records here: http://www.sacredbonesrecords.com/. Don Pedro was the perfect venue for Nice Face's first live show in more than a year. The space is extremely small, so their performance felt very intimate, with the lead singer and guitarist standing face-to-face, ground level with the audience.
