Threesome releases debuts “Minor in Christ”
NEW YORK ISN’T A TOTAL SOUND DESERT
For a time in 2018 to 2019 there was a savior venue called The Glove (Possibly named after Robert Smiths band outside the Cure) which hosted a variety of acts, seemly always putting on an interesting show.
Although among the younger folk, college age, barely anything is worth discussing. Punk bands rehashing the angsty aggression that they should have grown out of by age sixteen and singer song writer’s sung crap about their exes with vibrato they learned from radio top forty. There was one act that was really dumb, but fun and with the true spirit of 1960’s DIY. A duo, “Threesome” would romp around to a synthesizer bop and scream “Beer isn’t good for you!” They were relatively refreshing.
Although they tried to seem air tight, it was obvious that they had not the time to get it together and it’d be less enjoyable if they did. The spectacle of watching the two try to get a full band sound was something a kin to watching a drunk one man band in the subway. Theres something more compelling about witnessing an act fail when they have an honest heart then seeing a bunch of emotional burn outs hit their mark.
I Haven’t listened to their recorded music, since it comes out at the July 31st, but I hope they don’t loose that aspect. Their shows always reeked of sweat and Indian Pale Ale. People would pogo about and after their set had ended people would turn to one another and say, “Hey that’s actually good, I wasn’t bored.” “Scream-o Devo” I heard one fan cry out. Threesome has humor on their side so you can’t knock’em.
