Pleasure Songs
Best bet for Saturday: Indie quartet the Mary Onettes, straight out of that Scandinavian pop hotbed of Jonkoping, Sweden, which Loney Dear and I'm From Barcelona also call home. The Onettes' new Islands reverberates with echoes of 1980s synth heavy acts like Echo & the Bunnymen, so they provide an intimate alternative for those stymied in their plans to see this month's scheduled E & the B show at the Keswick Theatre, which has been nixed. The Mary Onettes will serve up seconds, nay, minutes of pleasure songs at Kung Fu Necktie in Fishtown tonight.
