DOWNLOAD: EULA - "Dirty Hands" (Live at Bruar Falls, Brooklyn 4/16/11)

I wasn't previously aware that Bruar Falls had a hard curfew at Midnight (on Saturday night, no loss) so New Haven, CT art-punk band EULA played a blistering but abbreviated set at their record release show last Saturday.

The band has a new 10-track disc Maurice Narcisse and the new material sounded great live. A live version of the track "Dirty Hands" (from the new CD) is posted above. It has been a little while since I've seen EULA play live and Aylse's guitar work seems to have gotten more angular and jagged and the bass and drums rumble aggressively like a pile driver. All-in-all, the band's sound has moved past the 'Sonic Youth-like' free-form dissonance to a much more targeted attack that is close in spirit to bands like Gang of 4 (EULA covered "To Hell With Poverty" at the show) and Big Black.

Check out QRO Magazine's in-depth review of Maurice Narcisse. Below is the video for the first single from the new disc, "Texas Stampede".
