Jessi D writesCHIRP Radio Welcomes Fuck Buttons to Subterranean on Monday, October 14th!

CHIRP welcomes Fuck Buttons (which, as I have come to find out, you cannot say on the radio) to Subterranean on Monday, October 14. The Bristol-based electronic duo made up of Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power have been creating grandiose and fierce synth-driven music since 2004's Street Horrrsing.

Coming off the high of featuring two songs ("Surf Solar" and "Olympians") during the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony in London, Fuck Buttons is currently touring to support their third and newest release, Slow Focus, which is admittedly much darker and more expansive than previous albums. Drawing inspiration from “the period of time that your eyes take after waking up to readjust to your surroundings and you realize that you’re somewhere that maybe you don’t recognize or it’s an unwelcoming place,” Fuck Buttons' sound has taken a turn towards unease and dissonance with the occasional and very necessary soaring synth.

Be sure to get there early to catch multi-instrumentalist electronic artist Lichens, aka Robert Lowe.

Doors @ 8:30 / Show @ 9 / 17+
