Total Slacker, Red Romans, Ava Luna
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.

| Total Slacker is the project of Emily Oppenheimer and Tucker Rountree. |

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

| 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. |
