Tonight in O-town: Fujiya & Miyagi, Trail of Dead.
February 23rd, 2009 by Leilani Polk in Concerts
It’s not often you find a UK electro outfit that can combine elements of Can-style Krautrock (Britain-meets-Berlin accents, slinky minimal beats, hypnotic repetition) with sly, witty songwriting that references Hans Christian Anderson, ice cream flavors, Reebok, pickpockets and various other nonsensical subjects, many related in some way to the ’80s. Fujiya & Miyagi (pictured) bring their U.S. tour to Orlando, with support by Brooklyn’s Project Jenny, Project Jan. 8 p.m., Back Booth, Orlando, $10.
Also worth the Monday night drive to O-town is Austin’s thunderously art rockin’ …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, which is currently on tour in support of their sixth and latest album, The Century of Self. Funeral Perty opens the Orlando gig. 9 p.m., The Social, Orlando, $15.

The Orlando show was awesome. Only about 50 folks in attendance they took the stage about 9:50 to 10:55. 4 piece band from the UK and they rocked all the their popular songs. All the songs were short and complete. The 2 encores were jammed out versions of Collarbone and ?. Best $12 I have spent in a long time probably since DMB played bars.
