audible: The Golden Filter @ Mod Club

Walked into the club to see The Presets last night at the Mod Club to a resoundingly 80's sounding ghostly female figure on the stage: The Golden Filter. Jaaaysus they were good. You know they're badass when they only sold 45's at the t-shirt booth, no CD's. I think they might be my new secret obsession.

As the primitive dancing style of The Golden Filter's lead singer entranced the crowd, my friend leaned over to me to utter: "You know, they had it right in the 80's. But no one is willing to admit it." Although The Golden Filter is probably not as 80's as I make them out to be, the influence is undeniable. And my friend had a point. Name one thing that was wrong with the 80's. I've tried.

Another interesting mystery lies in the identities of The Golden Filter members. Google them and you'll find out what I mean. Up until the time of this posting, there is no wikipedia page, no band bio, no info anywhere on who they are. Quite frankly, I don't care.
