Pens

Hey Friend, What You Doing?

Add to Cart

PENS live sets last about 14 minutes. The girls swap instruments in between tunes mainly because it appears none of them really know what they are doing. The whole shambolic thing seems on the verge of falling apart; it's swathed in so much static and reverb that it's like watching the YouTube clip of the kid kicking through the granite wall and snapping his ankle snapped in half. They also do a cover of "Sex Beat" by The Gun Club that sounds like The Germs trying to be The Shangri-Las through a gauze of early K Records fuzz.
