New Build - Mercury Lounge

What do you get when you form a band with former members of LCD Soundsystem and Hot Chip? You get New Build. Who made their US debut this week at Mercury Lounge with two consecutive nights of sellout shows. Lead singer Al Doyle was as happy as could be thanking the crowd endlessly for coming out in support. He actually seemed shocked that they sold out the tiny 250 person venue. Or that anyone had heard of his little band. Anyone in the crowd would have thought otherwise. Just on paper alone, it's a band that intrigues. It seems like a no brainer. I love LCD Soundsystem, and I like Hot Chip, so, yeah. I'm in. It proved to be a good move. They rocked. The 50 minute set was brief but solid. Can't wait to hear more from them. Be sure to cop their album
