Union Pool
Tuesday, July 6
Last night in the freezing (yessss) back room of Union Pool, three Brooklyn acts gave startlingly fresh performances. The bill--Red Romans, a jangly and well-crafted pop band that's the side project of Chris Burke from Beach Fossils; seven-piece Motown post-punk band Ava Luna; Total Slacker, a Brooklyn three-piece that never plays minor chords (true story)--was made up entirely of friends, though none of the acts really sound the same.
Tuck from Total Slacker played on the ground, literally.
Total Slacker is the project of Emily Oppenheimer and Tucker Rountree.

Ava Luna's frontman, Carlos Hernandez. (We like them.)

Goths? Fair enough. It was that kind of a night.

The guy in the open shirt was entertained.
Tuck from Total Slacker went wild at the end of the set.
He played on the floor for awhile, soloing the whole time.
The crowd was into it.
Singing into a guitar plug?
