by bpearis. Art Brut was tearing up the Mercury Lounge last night. Lead singer Eddie Argos is cheeky and self agrandizing to the point of spoof and then ultimately self depricating and funny as hell, he had the audience cracking up, 'Ready Art Brute?' he asks before each song. But most of all, the music is rocking. It's punk anthems with great lyrics "I want to be the boy the man who wrotes the song that makes Isreal and Palistine get along", and "popular culture no longer applies to me" yes, Exactly! It was a killer show dispite a small and drunk bearded troglidite who was attempting to mosh by pushing everyone in the front around a lot. At one point Eddie was draged into the audience and yours truely was shouting into the mike with him MODERN ART MAKES ME WANT TO ROCK OUUUUUUUUUUUUUT! FUN.
