Hockey (the band) is at Riot Room tonight
For its first album, 2009’s Mind Chaos, Hockey wrote a batch of songs from its home in Portland, Oregon, that resembled the work of acts popular in New York at the time: MGMT, the Strokes, LCD Soundsystem. The group has since relocated to New York and accordingly made an album – this year’s Wyeth Is – whose beachy synth-pop vibe feels very West Coast. Opener Swimm‘s danceable psych pop should be a natural lead-in.
Tuesday, August 13, at the Riot Room
