Le Rug show is TONIGHT (4/28)

I made an error in my last post about the Le Rug show. The show is TONIGHT (4/28), and it definitely didn't happen last night (4/27) like i posted before.

LE RUG

Le Rug is the new project of ex-medics singer Ray Weiss. I haven't heard every track from the debut record "Bleenex," but what I have heard off of Le Rug's Myspace page is stellar. Ray has written a batch of new post-punky/shoegazey songs that one could say are reminiscent of early Stereolab, My Bloody Valentine, Built to Spill, and of course, The Fall. But also on the record are some much improved songs that Ray originally wrote for his previous project The Medics (myspace.com/themedics). A good example of an improved song is the new version of the purely shoegaze track "Bomb." The song previously included a prominent arpeggiated guitar line that ascended througout the entire song. On the new Bleenex version of "Bomb," the ascending guitar has been replaced with an arrangementt that has an ascending - arpeggiated slidey synth line. A much better arrangement in my opinion.

Again, the Le Rug are playing their record release TONIGHT at RayHand's Hatmaking Studio, which is off the Bergen St. stop on the F.
