As I was in London on Friday so I missed The Death Set that night in Crawdaddy. As did most of you it seems as friends told me there was 30 to 40 people there. Such a shame. The Baltimore band play on the floor a la Dan Deacon which is fitting because they sound like a punk band playing his tunes. Their album Worldwide comes highly recommended from me for its frantic electro/punk energy.
The Death Set – Around the World
The Death Set – Impossible (Dan Deacon remix)
I bought the album from eMusic.

That sucks that you missed them. I haven’t seem them myself but I’ve heard they put on a good show. They recently played Boston with The Mae Shi and they’ll be playing here again soon as part of Dan Deacon’s Round Robin Tour. I’m definitely making sure not to miss that. It sounds crazy awesome.
