NYC's Electroclash compilation brought the sounds of the 1980's back
to the future with a patchwork of tracks exhibiting various degrees of
quality. Standing out from the crowd, completely devoid of the ironic
tilt of most of its neighbors was a song called "Candy Girl" by a band
I never heard of called Soviet. Utterly nostalgic for the best of the
80's synthesized pop, the song sounds completely familiar yet not at
all identifiable. Definitely the highlight of the compilation. I'm
still waiting to find a copy of their full length record, but
hopefully they'll have some available at this show.
Anyway when faced with the opportunity to open for them, I jumped at
the chance. Soviet is featured in the current issues of Spin and The
Fader; Those of you in Chicago should show up and catch the New Wave
again...
