To say that Warpaint were on top of their game at La Zona Rosa Saturday night would be an understatement. The four women were sirens, as their hypnotic grooves and gorgeous guitar lines managed to seduce nearly everyone in attendance.

The band demonstrated a kind of chemistry that not even an odd technical glitch midway through their set could break, and it made for an experience that further confirms their status as a live force. more ›
