Dan Boeckner (formerly of Wolf Parade) and Alexei Perry have been hard at work, touring feverishly in support of their newest release and their third album, Sound Kapital. Tonight the sexy Canadian indie-pop husband/wife duo known as Handsome Furs return to Austin. With guitar and electronics, the duo's sound is driven by Perry's drum machine manipulations and Boeckner's edgy, urgent vocals--a winning combination that gives their sound an equal measure of punk-punch and dance-ability. While their content often reflects current cultural themes that drift to dystopian depictions in songs like "Confused" and "What About Us", their aggressive energy consistently shifts to positive reaffirmations for an overall powerful and infectious live experience that we highly recommend.

Lean Hounds open. Music starts at 9pm.
