Dan Boeckner and
Alexei Perry brought an enormous amount of energy and enthusiasm to the Bowery Ballroom during their July 7th show. As they rocked through a setlist comprised mostly of songs off their new album "Face Control," the husband and wife duo that comprise
Handsome Furs danced, gyrated and repeatedly fell over when overwhelmed by their own spastic energy. Highlights included lead single "I'm Confused" which kicked the show into high gear early on in the set, "Evangeline" and "Nyet Spasiba." Before playing "Handsome Furs Hate This City," Perry and Boeckner assured the crowd that they did not mean New York. "We love it here!," Perry yelled into the audience. At the end of the show, it was clear that the feeling was mutual.-
