The Big Pink live DJ set 11/23/09 @ 8 p.m.

Twist & Shout is pleased to host 4AD’s latest signing The Big Pink for a DJ Set on Monday, November 23 at 8 p.m. The band will be here for you to meet while they peruse our used vinyl and spin them for your delight. Then they'll be off to the Larimer Lounge for a full rockin' set with instruments and microphones.

There’s something steady but explosive about London’s The Big Pink. The band has compressed 50 years of loveless and lovelorn rock & roll into a sometimes unsettled but frequently tender circle. They’re a truly modern pop group – seamlessly, the band melds folkish and warm melodies, the spiritual tranquility of soul and gospel, the rhythmic propulsion of rave, the white noise of punk, the glitchy textures of electronica, and the heavy drones of your favorite New York rock bands for a sound that’s both distant and utterly familiar.

Now doesn’t it sound like their DJ set is gonna be good and fun?? http://www.m yspace.com/musicfromthebigpink
