Ringo Deathstarr at King Fu Necktie

With a name that the former Beatle might have taken had he been an emo star, Ringo Deathstarr started in Texas. While citing decades of American and British music as influences, their soft grunginess and shoegaze sound is reminiscent of a young My Bloody Valentine. Catch them in anticipation of their newest record Pure Mood, releasing on CD and vinyl in November and December. Listen before you go: "Guilt." Tuesday, October 20th, 8 pm doors.
