Handsome Furs

Between Dan Boeckner's deep baritone-laced travel stories and Alexei Perry's accounts of grateful audiences from The Forbidden City to Myanmar - this show is a doozy.

You're in for well over an hour of Dan's favorite tracks, the 'Furs' tips for creative couples and what it means to put on a show in China (you may want to think twice before dealing with Baltimore concert promoters in Ho Chi Minh City).

Afterward the two of them gave the Townhouse Lounge one memorable performance.  How many other bands have played that space performing effortless synthesizer solos, arms outstretched, on one leg? 

In short: I dare you not to be charmed by Handsome Furs.
