Last night's Telepathe/Teengirl Fantasy show at Matthew's Mug in Vassar's campus center was a blast (people got down with TF and the between-set jams ie: "Fantasy" by Mariah Carey), especially when I got to the venue and learned that Brooklyn/Chicago trio These Are Powers were added to the bill. Turns out they released a record on Tuesday, All Aboard Future (Dead Oceans), from which they played many noisy/dance-y jams including "Adams Turtle," which I think is from that new album. Also, dudes like Missy Elliott.
However, they played last and there were two acts before them. Teengirl Fantasy went first (just barely caught em) and played all their great stuff, including "Portofino" and "Hoop Dreams." I grabbed one of their CD-Rs for WMUA, something like 11 tracks 50-something minutes with a lot of tracks not available on their Myspace.
Unfortunately I still don't get Telepathe. People love "Chrome's On It" (which you can check oiut on the Myspace), but I honestly can't stand the song. They got going and their set got better, but they disappointed for the most part.
