The duo of Handsome Furs is comprised of Montreal residents Dan Boeckner (Wolf Parade) and his fiancé Alexei Perry. They were supposed to be on a short stint in the U.S. this week supporting there Sub Pop debut, Plague Park. This included a gig Friday night at TT's in Cambridge, MA -- BUT United States Customs kept those freedom-haters in Canada. Really.
What I'm getting at here is that you can just forget about throwing any red paint on Alexi this weekend. Aww, bummer- but hey, I'm sure there'll be other opportunities to act like an asshole to Canadian musicians soon enough.
I like these songs a lot. Maybe you will hate them and tell me all about it.
