Cold Cave, Divine Fits
Wed., Oct. 31
Stubb's, 801 Red River, 512/480-8341
Conceived in L.A., the Divine Fits were born in Austin and delivered two intimate shows at Beerland and the Continental Club late this summer. Since then, the collaboration between Spoon’s Britt Daniel, Wolf Parade and Handsome Furs’ Dan Boeckner, and New Bomb Turks’ drummer Sam Brown has released a celebrated album and toured nationally. With dark love songs set atop steady, crunchy, synth rock, the Fits sparked with energy in those seminal performances. Now, we’ll see if they’ve caught fire. – Kevin Curtin
