Contramano--The best band you've never heard of...

Hubby and I discovered Contramano approximately a year ago at a show at the Brooklyn venue, South Paw. They were opening for one of our favorite bands, Rasputina--an amazing band whom I've blogged about extensively, but the nitty gritty is this: two chicks singing incredibility sarcastic, funny, and off the cuff lyrics, simultaneously playing cellos, and backed by a male drummer. They like to dress in corsets, and also like pilgrims and native Americans. Seeing them live is better than their albums. Their album A Radical Recital will make you pee yourself. But back to Contramano--an amazing, innovative and exciting band, hailing from Argentina, with live cello, lots of stuff done with an iBook, a crazy singer, and immensely catchy, politically driven lyrics. We're going to see them again this evening, at South Paw in Brooklyn, and if you're interested in coming with, you should call me ASAP.

Here's hubby's epinion he wrote about them forever ago:

Contramano, The Best Band You've Not Yet Heard Of...
Contramano: you should know about them. It was my duty to inform, and that duty is done. Thank me later.
