If I had to describe White Lies in just a few words, I think I'd use the terms "city indie" (registered trademark). Downtrodden, dark, indie music that feels like its place is the bowels of the late-seventies bowery, even though their from the UK, this is music not for the faint of heart. Comparisons to Interpol and Joy Division make sense because the band's songs are both danceable and fun whilst still maintaining depraved, sinister overtones. If you like to dance, like good pop music, and like to think about that pop music, White Lies may be your thing.
Tonight, they play at Town Ballroom with local support from Made Violent. Tickets are still available for $23.
