Strange Boys
Live Music
Now shorn of the barbed sax notes that graced breakthrough song ‘Be Brave’, Austin’s Strange Boys get back to being the best fuck-ups in town, obliquely odd dealers of great songsmithery that they are. There’s a latent funk feel to ‘Live Music’ that you feel would do the vintage Stones proud, and like that band’s greatest output, lashings of death, doom and haughty kinkiness are the order of the day here. “I’m surprised you’re still alive”, leader Ryan Sambol howls believably at one point, while ‘Me And You’ is – shout it out loud – one of the coolest songs of the year. If The Strange Boys were Brits, you get the impression they’d officially be a big deal by now.
