PICK OF THE WEEK: These United States – Thursday, July 28th – Moe’s Original BBQ

Why You Should Go: These United States surrender themselves to unbridled rock and roll exuberance:  ringing guitars, thundering drums, desperate yearning bordering on hope.  By turns larger-than-life and disarmingly intimate, this is folk in the truest sense – a record of the moment, of the cultural and emotional forces that animate everyday existence somewhere down below the headlines.  (But never apart from them.)  And These United States play it the way folk was meant to be played:  hard, fast, big, slow, long, loud, loose, at last unburdened.  They play like they mean it.  Like there’s never been a better time to be alive.

Over the last three years These United States has played 600 shows, released four albums and gained the support of NPR’s All Things Considered, World Cafe, and Mountain Stage, Spin, Paste, Filter, NY Times, Village Voice, Brooklyn Vegan, JamBase, The Onion, Daytrotter, My Old Kentucky Blog, KEXP, KCRW, WXPN, and WFUV. Festival highlights include: Lollapalooza, High Sierra, Pickathon, Glastonbury, Mt. Jam, XPoNential, Joshua Tree, Celebrate Brooklyn, and Forecastle.
