I saw this duo at the Trans Musicales Festival in France in December and have been waiting and hoping for a Vancouver tour date to pop up, and it has (July 21st at the Biltmore Ballroom [upstairs venue above the Biltmore]).
New York band PWR BTTM have a new album called Pageant out on May 12th, and released a new song last week called "LOL" - Take a listen below, and I'll let you read what the song is about in the band's own words:
"LOL is a song about trying. Trying to understand. Trying to grow up. Trying to reconcile who you wish you were with who you can't help being. Sometimes you try as hard you can to do those things and you fail. You fucking fail really, really hard. So hard that you have to give yourself a break and just laugh about how hard and weird things can be; about how no matter how secure you think you are deep down there's a part of us all the feels like they're doing everything for the first time
In performing the song, I tried to surround myself with people who made me feel powerful, like I could keep on trying no matter what. People like our French Horn player Cameron West, Kiley Lotz from Petal and, of course, my amazing mom Christiane Hopkins. They made me feel like I could keep going, I hope this song helps you feel the same! - Ben"
